Malaysia's An Honest Mistake has been nothing short of impressive ever since their debut in 2008. The band, headed up by organizer, lecturer, and musician, Darren Teh (rhythm guitar), may have seen quite a number of personnel changes ever since their inception, but their penchant for creating catchy earworms has remained the same - in fact, it's evolved. Completing the lineup are Tomas Tam (lead guitar), Sonny Wan (bass) and Eugene Gerard (drums). The band was previously part of major label, Universal Music Malaysia (2016 - 2018). 2024 saw the release of their brand new album, The Lonely Hearts Club.
And no wonder. After five albums, countless tours including several trips to Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines, the band has matured to create a multi-faceted sound that can range from summery pop tunes to emotional ballads, and the odd pulse-pounding easycore song or two.
They've shared the stage with renowned international acts like Mayday Parade, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, Boys Like Girls, Motion City Soundtrack, and Against The Current to name a few, and the band shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
With more material on the way that's sure to reflect their ability to go between full-on pop rock, relaxed acoustic music, and heavy hardcore--influenced tunes, it's a mistake not to catch the lads of An Honest Mistake whenever they're in a town near you.
I, Suffocate ft. Amanda Love & Ewan Roslan
I SUFFOCATE
VERSE 1:
In the shadows where we’re hiding from
Torn apart from every corner of
The saviour, our favours
Can’t be paranoid
Oceans wide surrender can’t conform
Push ourselves we weather through the storm
Addiction, can’t save us
Can’t be freaking out
Chorus
We’ll weather the storm through the hurricane
Can’t breathe I thought that I would suffocate
Cut the chord inside my heart is bleeding red
I- I- suffocate
I-I- suffocate
VERSE 2:
I’ve tried but I can’t get out
I’m done, I’ve had enough
Or is this just all in my head?
It’s getting harder, it’s getting harder to breathe
Gasping for air, gasping for air
BREAKDOWN:
Currents rise
It’s like I’m screaming underwater
I will survive
Tides take over
The waves will carry me to shore
I, I will survive
TAG:
We’ll make it out of this
We’re never going under
