Backstory:
Formed in 2005, “Wasteful Look” is the brainchild of four college misfits who found solace in their shared musical interests at a small liberal arts college in Vermont. Lead vocalist and lyricist, Remy Sanders, teamed up with bassist Max Thompson, drummer Jesse Kline, and guitarist Luke Parker. What started as late-night jam sessions in their shared dorm room gradually morphed into the creation of a unique punk rock band that would soon catch the attention of the local music scene. In 2007, after gaining a substantial following from their energetic live shows and raw, emotive music, Wasteful Look recorded their debut album, earning them their first taste of national attention.

“Chasing Shadows”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse) [Am-G-F-G]
She’s a rebel girl in a corporate world, (Am)
Down the rabbit hole and back again, (G)
Battles scars, we wear them well, (F)
Time will tell, we’re just Chasing Shadows. (G)
(Chorus) [C-G-Am-F]
Chasing Shadows in the dark, (C)
Fighting battles with broken hearts, (G)
Lost souls, we make our start, (Am)
In the echo of love, we find our spark. (F)
(Verse) [Am-G-F-G]
Late-night dreams, neon screams, (Am)
Runaway girl, she’s living in a dream, (G)
Whiskey shots, the night is ours, (F)
In the realm of dreams, we’re just Chasing Shadows. (G)
(Chorus) [C-G-Am-F]
Chasing Shadows in the night, (C)
With the fears we’ve held so tight, (G)
In the wilderness of the heart, (Am)
Love’s the only light in the dark. (F)

Sammy’s Testimonial:
“Wasteful Look isn’t just a band, they’re a lifeline. Their music speaks to the parts of us that are lost, confused, and looking for meaning. Remy’s lyrics are like a roadmap through the difficulties of life. They’re raw, honest, and beautifully profound. I’ve been following them since their early days in Vermont and their evolution is astounding. They’re not just my favorite band because of their music, but because of the community they’ve built, the causes they stand for, and the genuine love they have for their fans. I can’t wait to see where they go next.”
