Backstory:
Violet Lawyer was formed in 2017 in the heart of Los Angeles by five college friends: the charismatic frontman, Zander, the cerebral guitarist, Reese, the bohemian keyboardist, Lily, the stoic bassist, Miles, and the powerhouse drummer, Jack. All law students from UCLA, they initially used music as an escape from their strenuous academic life, but they soon found their shared passion for creating music that transcended genres and evoked deep emotions.
Through their unique blend of melodic hooks, powerful lyrics, and unpredictable chord progressions, they quickly captured the attention of the music scene and their popularity soared. Despite their sudden fame, Violet Lawyer never lost sight of their roots. They continued their legal studies while touring and recording, with their love for both law and music evident in the eclectic and thought-provoking songs they produced.

Title:
“Contradictory Oaths”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em C G D
Shadows play on the courtroom floor,
Em C G D
Silent whispers, it’s the calm before the storm.
Em C G D
Can’t you see, it’s a different kind of war,
Em C G D
Where the truth is a casualty, can’t ignore.
(Chorus)
Em C G D
Ooh-ooh, Contradictory Oaths,
Em C G D
In the maze of justice where we’re both lost.
Em C G D
Ooh-ooh, we’re painted in different truths,
Em C G D
Lawyer or lover, I can’t choose.
(Verse 2)
Em C G D
Beneath the violet light, we lay,
Em C G D
Promises broken in the harsh light of the day.
Em C G D
Your love is the case I cannot sway,
Em C G D
In this courtroom of the heart, what will you say?
(Repeat Chorus)

Testimonial:
“Violet Lawyer is more than just a band to me. Their music has been my companion through the hardest of times. The depth of their lyrics, the fusion of rock and pop, and the unique concept of incorporating their legal backgrounds into their songs is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Reese’s electrifying guitar solos, Lily’s soulful keys, Miles’ rhythmic bass, Jack’s powerful drum beats, and of course, Zander’s heartfelt vocals make up the perfect ensemble. Being a law student myself, I resonate deeply with the band’s story. They’re my favorite band because they inspire me to chase my dreams without compromise.”
