Freedom
Shiny Brain CrayonsFreedom is the 5th single from south London alternative-indie/post-punk duo Shiny Brain Crayons. Celebrating life as a game, pulsating dark grooves, thumping bass, and the familiar angular guitar and synth combo maps out Freedom as the soundtrack to your epic quest called LIFE. Shouting is encouraged ‘let your bloody heart sing’ and don’t take yourself too seriously with this bouncy indie-post-punk-pop hit. Shiny Brain Crayons continue their musical mark with groove-based riffs, stark drums and driving guitar licks, reminiscent of the 80’s finest courtesy of award winning producer/multi instrumentalist, Stergin. This signature sound steps up a gear with singer/bassist Marianne Canning’s vocal delivery: laid back, rhythmic, oozing confidence whilst a tongue-in-cheek clarinet cadenza heralds a triumphant victory.

Old Beliefs
Shiny Brain Crayons
‘Old Beliefs’ is the punchy third single by emerging alternative indie punk duo Shiny Brain Crayons. The song hypnotises like a snake charmer, enticing the mind to break free of the limiting cycles shackling us to our habits and grow into our future selves. Groove-based riffs, stark drums and driving guitar licks build into dark electronic beats - Welcome to the signature sound of Shiny Brain Crayons. Delving deeper into the human psyche, 2024 is the time to reflect, move forward and ‘scratch off the Old Beliefs’; confronting us to ask ourselves ‘what are you standing for?’ After gaining international radio and blog features in the US, UK, Europe and Asia with previous single Noodles For Life, the band hit back with a refreshing new years reminder. Championing creativity and abstract introspection, Old Beliefs follows SBC’s message of psychology, meditation and self-empowerment. Award winning producer/multi-instrumentalist Stergin weaves music, effects and simplicity against a crunchy energetic sound world that will soon captivate across the hip-hop, electronic, indie and punk audiences.
Saweeet Summer Nights
Shiny Brain Crayons
Saweeet Summer Nights is the 6th single from south London alternative-indie/post-punk duo Shiny Brain Crayons. Get the candles out. Saweeet is a nostalgic trip when Space Invader sweets rules, summer nights stretched into eternity and intimate fleeting memories become cornerstones of later life. An ode to people loved and lost, endured and enamoured, this song is a meditative therapeutic singalong in pastel shades of post-punk. Less stylised poem speeches and more reflective, winding, harmonised melodies, producer Stergin and singer Marianne showcase their diversity with grace without losing their bombastic style. Abstract lyrical leanings take us on a journey that rewinds the clock and paints a stop-motion animation in your mind. This tender pop-country tinged indie tune deviates from their usually trashy, messy uptempo and explosive offerings.
