Immerse yourself in all our recordings of our originals since the time we formed and didn’t know who we were to now, a stronger entity of what we’ve been through… together.

Conspiracy 2000 Performed at Watermelon Music Fest 9/28//24

This is an entirely new song that is primarily about navigating adolescence in the 21st century. This includes the struggles, high expectations, and demands that many youth have to face. Primarily being independent and finding success through a constantly changing interconnected world. It combines elements of alternative rock and rap, the latter of which we have never experimented with before. We hope you enjoy!

Stormbreaker Live Sophia’s Thai Kitchen, Davis CA 8/14/24

Stormbraker is a song about the devastating effects of war and natural disaster on a civilization. This was performed at Sophia’s Thai Kitchen in Davis, CA on 8/14/24. We hope you enjoy! We have the lyrics here as follows:

Verse 1: As I stare, Listlessly Aware

When inside it'll all come through

As I stare, completely unaware

Of the Changes thrice coming

Stormbreaker Comes Breathing you in

Deep from within, when the Soltstice will begin

Chorus 1: When Stormbreaker comes everything comes undone

The rain comes pouring down from the sky surrounded by clouds

The buildings are left to burn coming to the end of their turn

Verse 2: With many left behind

All ready to die

The buildings are left to burn

Ending their turn

Settling in the dust forever

Chorus 2: Stormbreaker flies past, igniting it's path

Leading Everything before them to tremble

Stormbreaker flies past, igniting it's path

Destruction then ensues, taking it's toll on the news

Untitled live at Emerson/DaVinci middle school, Davis CA 2/24/23!

This is the first time we ever played an original live! Untitled is a song that started with Taylor’s guitar part that she showed the rest of the band at practice one day. The rest of the band made parts. Benjamin composed the lead guitar lines, Atticus composed the basslines, and Andrew composed the drum grooves. It was called Untitled since the audio file name was saved as that and none of us felt that it had to be changed, and thus Untitled was born into existence! This was played at Benjamin and Andrew’s middle school for a school event. Unfortunately this performance of Untitled is without Atticus’s basslines or Benjamin’s guitar lines since Atticus wasn’t able to make the performance and Benjamin unfortunately broke his arm . So only Taylor’s guitar and Andrew’s drums are featured here.

All Rights Lost Official “Music Video”

This is actually the first ever recording and video taken of Hello Awkward! It started as a guitar line that Benjamin came up with in his second week of playing guitar. He built on top of that the following weeks and a few months later in November, 2021 he showed his bandmates what he had come up with. Then they all improvised parts to go on top of that. This video also features ex-bandmate and original singer, Cruz. The entire lineup is Andrew on drums, Benjamin on guitar, and Cruz on vocals. Andrew and Cruz made their own parts as well! The end result was shots for a “music video” that was edited by Cruz. About a year and a half later Benjamin decided to call this song All Rights Lost for unknown reasons.

All Rights Lost was the first song that Benjamin wrote on guitar and the first that the band put together even before doing covers the year that we formed! This version features Benjamin’s guitar and Andrew’s drums.

Three versions of a song that Benjamin wrote the lyrics, melody, and guitar line about a time when he was depressed. He was going through the dark which is a metaphor for his depression. It reflects his feelings that all hope was lost and he couldn’t find anything to do, anyone to care, nothing to lose, and reflects on the struggles and the burden everyone has to carry out in the world and how many would be relieved of their pain if everyone would just open their hearts and mind to help them. It also reflects identity and that what sets us apart makes us who we are as unique individuals.

This is a song that Benjamin wrote for his dad as part of his birthday celebration. Andrew made his own drum part too. The top two versions feature the melody and lyrics written by Benjamin. It is called The Protector Of Me since Benjamin’s father protects him from many of the dangers and threats of the world.

Audio Recordings

Some recordings of our originals throughout the years.

These are versions of a song Benjamin dedicated to his mom. Her chinese zodiac sign is the tiger. Thus it is a musical piece for the tiger or his mom. Benjamin wrote the melody, lyrics, and guitar line and Andrew made his own drum part.

All of our audio recordings of Untitled throughout the years since we started making the song. They vary in terms of guitar parts but most of them include Taylor.

This is a new song about isolation, oppression, and internal conflict. The guitar part and melody was written by Benjamin and Andrew produced the drum part. It illustrates life through the lens of someone who is facing internal conflict and feels that they don’t belong in a society that embraces one singular social norm, and excludes their entire identity from the picture.

Struggle to Thrive is a song about the pressure faced on today’s youth to get a lucrative career and find financial success in a society where the publics focus is purely centered on gaining financial benefits. While the effort of the youth is immense it is never enough in the eyes of the mentors of the youth or the workforce.

This is a song that was inspired by Mi Pan Zu Zu Zu by Sarah Hester Ross. Andrew wanted to make a song that had a similar intro to Mi Pan Zu Zu Zu. So we worked together and got this product as a result. We call it “The End of Time!”

Stormbreaker is a song about the devasting effect a mass genocide or natural disaster has on civilization with the idea being that the act of genocide or natural disaster itself is called Stormbreaker, and it is a ruthless being that tirelessly commits mass destruction to humans and their civilizations.

A New Chapter is our most recent song about navigating life and relationships in high school. It talks about the many changes we face, the many new people we encounter, the new relationships formed, the changes in interests and pursuits and the many new paths and chapters we write and create.
