‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us. The chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth.

"Tell your friends" by The Hillties

The Hillties

The Hillties a six piece band  based out of Nelson BC.The Hillties: recipients of The Kootenay Music Awards “Best Jam Band/Artist” (2019) and “Best Reggae Song” (2018) are a six piece band (chapman stick, ukulele, guitar, piano, drums and three part harmonies) based out of Nelson BC. Using this unique instrumentation we blend ska/reggae and funk into original music to keep the dance floor bumping all night.

The band's miscellaneous influences include Ska bands such as; Sublime, Slightly Stoopid. Reggae bands such as; Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff. Jazz bands such as; Dave Brubeck, John Scofeild. Folk bands such as; James Taylor, Neil Young. Rock bands such as: Pearl Jam, Cage The Elephant. Hip Hop bands such as; EPMD, Slick Rick
The band's influences are not catered only to the music world; they draw inspiration from many forms of visual art, surrounding landscapes, performance art, theatre and many other unsuspecting areas of life.



Tell your friends

Der Track ist die zweite Single der Band in diesem Jahr, und äußerst bemerkenswert wenn man deren Sound hört. "Tell your Friends" ist melodisch, sanft, ja, ein Track zum Entspannen
Die Handlung, ein Kommentar zum modernen Leben selbst. Dem Distanzhalten, das einem in der heutigen Zeit einfach gemacht wird, steht das Verwirklichen seiner Ziele gegenüber, dafür einzustehen für das was man für wichtig erachtet bzw. richtig hält. 
Musikalisch setzen sie auf Soul meets Pop meets a bit of Rock, werfen alles in ihren kreativen Kochtopf, würzen das Ganze mit ihren Begabungen, rühren um und servieren uns "Tell your friends". Der groovige Background hält sich dezent zurück und sorgt dafür das Vocals wie auch Gitarre strahlen können. "Tell your friends" by The Hillties something to enjoy.
