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...

"The Beautiful" by The Banquets

The Banquets

The Banquets

Roaring onto the music scene in 2019 with their rambunctious energy and unique blend of country, indie and rock, The Banquets have gone from strength to strength. From humble beginnings, supporting artists such as the South (formerly The Beautiful South) and Toyah Wilcox, as well as winning a place on the Introducing Stage at The Great British Folk Festival, they’ve recently gained the opportunity to play the famous Leeds Brudenell Social Club on a Saturday night and are rapidly building a name around the city.



The Beautiful

Inspiriert von einer Zeile eines Gedichtes von Emily Dickinson, in der es heißt: "Our summer made her light escape into the beautiful" und Gems, ihres Zeichens Leadsängerin der Band, andauerndem Kampf gegen Depressionen zeichnet die Story ein düsteres und nachdenkliches Bild, verbindet zugleich Melancholie und Enthusiasmus. Eine Sinuskurve des Lebens, mit erhöhter Frequenz.
Musikalisch wird experimentiert, String Arrangements und Effekte erzeugen Tiefe, die Bass Line, als Puls der Zeit, führt geschickt die Rhythmussektion, wo die Drums stets bereit sind zu pushen.
Wer glaubt dass hier schon Schluss ist, wird eines besseren belehrt, ein musikalisch gelungenes Experiment wird durch die Vocals in neue Sphären katapultiert um dort die Perfektion zu erlangen. Gems Performance im Zusammenspiel mit Leon, Tom Wallace und Francis Watson ein Schritt in eine andere Dimension. "The Beautiful" by The Banquets or the sound of an other Dimension.
