OH NO! ØKTAPUS (@oh_no_oktapus) - Interview (Official Lyric Video)

Members of the famed East Coast bands Prospect Hill and Lansdowne have spun their talents into a new group, OH NO! ØKTAPUS, which will cross all genres. Shaun "Showtime” Lichtenstein, Derek “Doc. D” Rousseau, and Mark “Bamo” Roberge, formed OH NO! ØKTAPUS as a trendsetting creative collective which will feature different singers on each project. Their first single, “Interview” features Prospect Hill singer Edgar Troncoso. Check out their lyric video below:

OH NO! ØKTAPUS BIOGRAPHY:
After years of writing, recording, and touring the world in the rock bands Prospect Hill and Lansdowne, Shaun "Showtime” Lichtenstein, Derek “Doc. D” Rousseau, and Mark“Bamo” Roberge decided it was time to start working on musical projects together. The trio collaborated with a collective goal to create a sound that would scan all genres and combine different styles and techniques that are not typically used together.

The goal is not only to collaborate and create new music with aspiring artists, they wanted to take their creations a step further by actually performing their works with all the live instruments used during the recording process. Similar to a Producer/DJ, the group will write, record, and produce a given record and when it comes time to perform the song(s), they will be front and center stage with guitars, drums and all the like to deliver the in-concert experience for the listener. This new method of participating fully in the production and performance processes inspired their new brand "OH NO! OKTAPUS."

Wait, what!?
OH NO! ØKTAPUS is not just a flashy series of words or a gimmicky phrase created to grab attention. The name OH NO! ØKTAPUS represents the function of this new brand while serving to capture the nature in which this collection of artists plan to operate. Like an octopus, the trio of Mark, Derek and Shaun represent the main brain of the complex creature with their input on all facets of the musical production process. The artists that they facilitate into the music world represent the tentacles, each functioning with their own individual characteristics yet, still connected and ultimately guided by the main head. So, when the impact of this multi-functioning musical entity is felt throughout the industry, you will begin to better understand the name and its cleverly appropriate characterization. Beware the ØKTAPUS!

@TRENDZMORRISON Drops Visual For "Blizzard"

Miami lyricist, Trendz Morrison, just released his dark-themed video, for the vividly introspective record, "Blizzard." The video opens with Trendz and his daughter watching the classic movie Juice, until Trendz doses off into a dream-like-state, where he is seen going through times of reflection, transformation, and anxiety. This video is definitely worth a couple of replays, especially since you will want to fully grasp the depth of the lyrics, as they compliment the energy of the video very well.

As a child growing up in Miami, Florida, Trendz Morrison developed a keen sense of all things artistic; which came as no surprise since he grew up in a home where music was used to break the ice. This led to him bridging the gap between sound and emotion. Transitioning from hobby to profession, Trendz would spend countless hours studying Tupac, Nas, Biggie, Mos Def just to name a few in order to perfect his skill. He understood that music was a creative language that could serenade your earbuds. Family, as well as friends, noticed the fire that was ignited within him, and they began to assist with the development of his artistry.

In 2009, Trendz released his debut mixtape entitled The Reaper’s Enemy, which was comprised of an impressive 24 songs. This project provided him with the building blocks to create opportunities and open doors. Aimed to expand his horizon, Trendz relocated to Atlanta, GA  with a determination to become a worldwide phenom. He began to surround himself with other creatives to learn more, becoming a diligent student eager for critiques and inspirations.
