Famous Last Words, una banda estadounidense de post-hardcore, nació en 2010 en Petoskey, Michigan. Sus fundadores, JT Tollas (voz), Jesse Maddy (guitarra), Craig Simons (batería) y Tyler Myklebust (guitarra), compartían una pasión inigualable por la música. Aunque sus caminos se habían cruzado en distintas bandas y proyectos anteriores, la química entre ellos fue innegable desde el primer momento.
En 2010, la banda lanzó su primer EP titulado ‘In Your Face’. Este trabajo tuvo una aceptación modesta, pero suficiente para ponerlos en el radar de la escena musical alternativa. Con una combinación de letras poderosas, riffs impactantes y una energía abrumadora en sus presentaciones en vivo, Famous Last Words empezaba a hacerse un nombre.
Dos años después, en 2012, la banda firmó con InVogue Records y lanzó su primer disco de larga duración, ‘Two-Faced Charade’. El álbum conceptualmente narraba una intrincada historia de amor y desilusión, y su ambiciosa presentación cautivó tanto a críticos como a fanáticos. Temas como ‘The Show Must Go On’ y ‘My Life Before My Eyes’ se convirtieron en himnos para sus seguidores.
A partir de la publicación de este álbum, Famous Last Words comenzó a atraer la atención a nivel nacional. Su estilo único, que combinaba elementos de teatro con la intensidad del post-hardcore, los distinguió en una industria saturada de bandas similares. Las giras se hicieron más frecuentes y sus presentaciones cada vez más esperadas.
The sunrise after this night of hell
It's a butcher baby, massacre, a thrilling kill
Can I linger on with this pain inside me?
(They'll chew you up and spit you back to hell)
I see the lost wretched romance
Will I ever make it take it come on give me a chance
To show the soul that's trapped inside me
(You'll have to take it from my dead hands)
It's broken record playing in my mind.
You'll never know what you might find
Cross into the crazy world I see
To see the truth inside me.
The lovers end, you'll never win.
(You'll never know what you might find)
The time has come, and you're all alone.
The sunrise after this night of hell
It's a butcher baby, massacre, a thrilling kill
Can I linger on with this pain inside me?
(They'll chew you up and spit you back to hell)
I see the lost wretched romance
Will I ever make it take it come on give me a chance
To show the soul that's trapped inside me
(You'll have to take it from my dead hands)
The lost may never come home
They'll have to find their way out, all on their own
They'll try to break me, but I'll make my stand
They'll have to take it from my cold dead hands
A sinners masterpiece
Will never be complete.
Can I do this? Can I live this lie?
Will I beat this? Can I ever win this fight?
Can I make it through this cold dark night?
Don't try to stop me, cause I need to make this right.
