Please Insert Coin: ‘Games’ by The Octopus Division

‘Games’ by The Octopus Division If you love the 80s and don't know Matt Muncie (aka The Octopus Division), you've definitely missed something. But as it's never too late for good music, you can catch up on what you've missed anytime and almost anywhere.  The Octopus Division's latest work is called ‘Games’ and once again represents the decade of neon lights perfectly. The major sequences are classically chosen, and you'll be hooked from the start. Back in the world of arcade games, the song becomes an intense journey of self-discovery, describing personal growth. Timelessness and shared experiences emphasize the importance of interpersonal bonds. ‘Games’ creates a dreamy atmosphere that allows you to immerse yourself in another world and makes you think about the future - all because you pressed the start button.  The entire production clearly bears Matt's signature, with classic drums, synth arrangements, and above all, the usual concise vocal part, which...

"Kaleidoscope" by Soda Cracker Jesus

Soda Cracker Jesus

... is the rock n roll brainchild of singer-songwriter-producer Regan Lane. His debut single My Anthem has charted on many independent radio stations worldwide, rising to number 15 on the prestigious Radio Indie Alliance Charts.

SCJ’S references are easy to draw, from a beefed-up Beatles or punked-out Kinks to those who took that sound forward including Robyn Hitchcock, Julian Cope, XTC, Anton Barbeau, and many more. What you will find once the needle hits the wax is effortless grooves and lush harmonies along with a relentless drive of clattering and cool backbeats and attitude. Energy meets euphoria in a two and half minute sonic workout.

SCJ's first 3 singles My Anthem, Drug My Soul and Kill It Tomorrow have all been played on over 100 indie radio stations and charted on the prestigious Indie Alliance Charts including numerous #1's.

Kaleidoscope

"My dad and I had a complicated relationship and before he passed we were good. This song is about the emotions and feelings that come with that. I think anyone at any age can relate to dealing with loss.", so der Künstler.

Nach Krachern wie "My Anthem" oder "Drug My Soul" lässt es SCJ jetzt etwas ruhiger angehen.
Die Inspiration für "Kaleidoscope" ist getrieben von den Gefühlen einen Menschen verloren zu haben, zeichnet ein Bild des Trauerns und die damit einhergehenden Emotionen. 
"Normalerweise", sagt Regan, "entblöße ich meine Seele nicht so weit". Sein Vater und er hatten eine komplizierte Beziehung und bevor er starb, waren sie gut, diese Momente einzufangen und zu verarbeiten werden dabei aufgegriffen. 

Musikalisch, etwas nostalgisch angehauchter Psychedelic meets Indie Pop mit Lennon-esquen Vocals, vermag Soda Cracker Jesus erneut zu begeistern und erinnert dabei auch an den grandiosen "70er Jahre Bowie". "Kaleidoscope" by Soda Cracker Jesus klingt wie eine Reminiszenz vergangener Tage, zugleich ist es auch ein emotionaler Abschluss sowie ein musikalisches Andenken.
