    ‘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.

    So Alive

    Shiny Brain Crayons

    Summer soundtrack 2026 has arrived! So Alive sweeps the airwaves with a breath of fresh mountain air, and revamped sound palette for SBC. Shiny Brain Crayons re-introduce themselves reflecting with a mature and simpler approach to music making, and the industry. Keeping the laidback vocals and swapping guitars for a dancier leaning, So Alive dares you not to jump around. Paying homage to Doechii, Animal Collective, Fcukers, and The Source (Aka life energy, not the 90s British band) , SBC are “calling in the karma” for their next big move. So Alive is the third of several releases for Shiny Brain Crayons in 2026.

    Haloed Eyes

    AJ & The Woods

    “Haloed Eyes” is a song born out of real moments and the kind of love that isn’t flashy or loud, but steady and grounding. This track is best for the following brands: Cozy Home & Lifestyle, Travel & Tourism (Nature-Focused), Non-Traditional Romance / Jewelry, Insurance & Financial Planning, Healthcare & Caregiving. 1) Cozy Home & Lifestyle: The opening line, "Turn all the lights down low, it's just me and you," combined with the rich, acoustic arrangement, is ideal for brands selling comfort. Think coffee brands (like Folgers or local roasters), smart home lighting, or furniture companies showing a couple enjoying a quiet, misty morning together. 2) Travel & Tourism (Nature-Focused): With lyrical imagery like "summer sunrise bold in the misty morning light" and "winter sunset," this track would beautifully underscore a tourism campaign for cabin rentals (like Airbnb or VRBO) or a state park system highlighting quiet, natural getaways. 3) Non-Traditional Romance / Jewelry: Instead of the flashy, over-the-top diamond commercials, modern jewelry brands (like Brilliant Earth) often pivot to showing "real, everyday love." A song about a partnership that isn't flashy but is deeply rooted perfectly matches that modern aesthetic. 4) Insurance & Financial Planning: Brands like State Farm, Prudential, or local credit unions constantly look for acoustic, heartfelt tracks that communicate trust, longevity, and being there for life’s ups and downs. The lyric "weathered together baby like we always do" is a literal goldmine for this sector. 5) Healthcare & Caregiving: The themes of lifting and healing one another fit beautifully into emotionally driven hospital campaigns or pharmaceutical ads that focus on a patient's support system and loved ones.
