‘Noodles for Life’ is the second single by emerging alternative indie punk duo Shiny Brain Crayons released via UK indie label Luna-Sky Records. Championing creativity and abstract introspection, Noodles for Life is what would be playing if Alex Garland’s film The Beach were soundtracked in 2023.
A washed out hazy beat with bouncing bass exhales, sweeping away the texture for the abstract poetry verse journey through nature.
“I do things my own way, bowl of noodles and me" sums up the philosophical mind wandering of ‘Noodles for Life’. Overlaying a junior chorus of voices, harmonies and natural wave sounds, award winning producer/multi-instrumentalist Stergin has created a meditative, pulsing energy ideal for the upbeat wellness, self-growth community.
Stergin & singer/multi-instrumentalist Marianne Canning have played a smattering of shows since their projects’ inception early this year. They continue their debut single approach with flair, bold colour and a driving social media to firmly stamp their crayon-filled brain logo ready for a 2024 takeover.
Their debut self-named single 'Shiny Brain Crayons' and second release 'Noodles for Life' are part of an emerging EP planned for next year.
Both musicians have been involved in many projects over the years, having been signed to major & indie labels (eg. Red Bull), creating award winning live shows (12 Photos 12 Tracks the global journey of a Polaroid turned into music), and touring the world with bands including The King Blues.

They’ve been making music together for the past 5 years morphing into Shiny Brain Crayons to release a new untended energy. SBC love to get their crayons out and create, experiment and connect to their inner child: “when your mind is open and free, songs and ideas come more easily to express yourself - let your imagination run wild."
Shiny Brian Crayons invite you into their world: dressed from head to toe in Crayolas finest palette, infectiously shout-singing with a child-like enthusiasm. Their music laces fuzzy guitar and bass over driving synth loops. Listen carefully and you may just feel your vibrational aura rise, a feel good smile singing along with their catchy riffs.
