Great name for a band
Useless Store
The story
Useless Store was formed in 2007 in the bohemian city of Portland, Oregon. The band members, who all held day jobs at a local vintage thrift store, discovered their shared love for music, and decided to start jamming after work hours. They named the band 'Useless Store' on a whim, a nod to their humble beginnings. As they gained popularity among their customer base, they began performing at local bars, open mic nights, and soon their music started to attract a larger audience.
Their music is a distinctly unique blend that reflects the diverse backgrounds and musical influences of its members: lead vocalist and guitarist, Max, who is heavily influenced by grunge and punk; bassist, Emily, a classically trained musician with a soft spot for jazz; drummer, Jeff, who brings his passion for the blues and funk; and keyboardist, Luna, whose haunting melodies are inspired by her love for psych rock and new age music. Together, they've created a sound that's raw, eclectic, and unapologetically genuine.
Broken Mirror
(Intro) Am, G, F, Dm (Verse 1) Am, G, F, Dm In the depths of a broken mirror Reflecting fragments of past and fear In silent whispers and hollow cheer I see myself so crystal clear (Chorus) G, Am, Dm, F Broken mirror, don't deceive Show me truths that I want to believe In your shards, I seek reprieve In your cracks, I start to grieve (Verse 2) Am, G, F, Dm In the silver canvas of shattered dreams I trace the lines of silent screams In the mirror, fractured gleams Echo the cacophony of life's themes. (Chorus) G, Am, Dm, F Broken mirror, don't pretend Your shattered silence is my friend In your fragments, I'll transcend In your reflections, I'll mend.
Biggest fan
"My name is Ava and Useless Store has been my favorite band since I first heard them at an open mic night in Portland. They are authentic, raw, and unfiltered - their music speaks to my soul. 'Broken Mirror,' in particular, resonates with me deeply. It's like they've managed to capture the human experience - all its beauty, pain, and complexity - in one song. Their music is my constant companion, the soundtrack to my life. I can't imagine a day without their songs."
