Organic and lacking production tricks applied by most modern rock acts, this band displays a poise and certainty normally reserved for more veteran acts by delivering honest, intelligent, and creative progressive rock. Consisting of Marcos Curiel (guitars), Ernie Longoria (drums), & Ryan Flores (bass), their extensive writing and recording experience, is evident in the music. Vocalist Brandon Davis adds to the solid musical core, by delivering soaring vocals that carry intelligent lyrics, while still engaging the listener. Metal Edge Magazine named them one of the Twenty Bands to Watch, and MTV News featured the group twice, describing them as "eclectic and musically adventurous". The Accident Experiment writes songs with dynamic melody and strong hooks, while appeasing the appetites of progressive hard rock fans by delivering the experimental nature they crave. Vocalist Brandon Davis describes it as “an emotional experience of creative work that fuses the band and the audience into one collective mind”. Their past catalogue features an EP (“Arena”), a full length album (“United We Fear”), and a video for “Sick Love Letter” (directed by Kevin Leonard, spins on MTV2 & Fuze). Most recently the band worked with well known studio engineer Jay Baumgardner (Papa Roach, Helmet, Sevendust) on new material, and have released two new singles (“Winter Harvest” & “In Your Eyes”) at the band’s official website.

Song for You
The Accident Experiment Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know where I should go since you've been gone
I search planets just to find where I belong
I'm unmending, pretending you can hear me screaming out my song
I STILL HANG ON TO YOU.
I SING THIS SONG FOR YOU.

I felt whispered rain fall on my face today
I felt everything begin to slip away

My sunrise keep falling

Rhythms of your voice keep calling
Inside arenas in my mind I sing for you to hear me say...
