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...

"Sea" by Said Sara

Said Sara

...is a genuine extension of Benson’s essence. As a child of the 70’s, he grew up on the singer-songwriters of that era of emergence: Baez, Stevens, Croce, Taylor, Buckingham, Mitchell. 
But Benson was/is a metalhead and a punk (yes, both) in the 80s, 90s and beyond. In 2008, he joined crust punk-turned death metal warhorse Acephalix, of which he remains the drummer. He also currently sits behind the kit for post-hardcore vs. electronic noise denomination Plaguestate.

A year ago you released "Bleedways", now you are back with "Sea", did you work on new material in the last 12 month or was it simply a break concerning music?

I literally worked on Sea for a full year! I poured everything into it.


What's the story behind your song "Sea", what was your inspiration, respectively ?

I saw a woman in a laundromat and wrote it about her. Where can relief be found when one works to serve others all day and night?


What's in your opinion the most time intensive part being an indie artist?

The promo! It's ruthless. Hearing opinions on your work from those with no background knowledge can be brutal -- though there are benefits to unbiased opinions.


Who would you most like to collaborate with?

Laura Viers


What are your "All time Top 3 Songs", right now, in this second?

Coldplay - Charlie Brown,
Morbid Angel - Abominations,
The Distillers - Die on a Rope.


What’s next for you?

I'm about to give it all over to Acephalix, my band of 14 years. Our new album drops in the fall and we have several shows coming up. Said Sara takes a back seat, though I'm ready to gig!
