Biography:
“My aim is to be earnest and have integrity,” says Zach Porter, primary songwriter of the transcendent pop-rock quintet The Tragic Thrills. “When I write songs for this band, I question every word because I want to make sure everything is honest.”
The quintet is comprised of seasoned musicians with national and international touring experience, and successful track records with both major and independent labels. The band has toured with Twin Forks, Augustana and Pigpen Theater Co.

(verse) Find me a lover, find me a friend
Let me taste something sweet at the bitter end
Tell me I’m perfect, let me pretend
(prebridge) Cause I’ve spent too many years living up to perfect’s long demands
(bridge/chorus)Everybody hopes their trend survives
Like the screamo kids in 2005
Everybody says that I have seen my time
(prebridge) But I’ll keep singing louder on the mic
So I can feel alive
(verse) Show me a sign, a light above the land
And I’ll stop searching for a better plan
Give me a job, a real good one if you can
(prebridge) Because we all feel entitled and put our fate in other’s hands
(bridge/chorus) Everybody pays a little price
So the crazy doesn’t keep you up at night
Put a dollar in my pocket and I’ll make you feel alright
(prebridge) The greatest things in life don’t always happen twice
(chorus) Alive
(prebridge) Standing on the edge, looking back at all the people
I wonder if they share the air I breathe?
And I might be scared of a sudden bolt of lightning
But I live to kill that fear in me
It’s mine and mine alone, the demons in my bones
I don’t need a king to make me weak
(verse) I’ll always be alive until the day I die, so on the day I die I’ll die in peace
(prebridge) Everybody winds around the bend
To see the bigger pictures staring back at them
The wrongs that we commit, we can’t admit so we pretend
Let’s never let the bad ones be the end, so we can feel
(bridge/chorus)
