SOMEDAY (6/30/2015)
S.C.R.D. officially released their debut studio single, titled “Someday” on Tuesday, June 30, 2015. The record release includes three
versions (Dirty, Radio Edit, Instrumental) and will be available through a year-long contract with TuneCore for global distribution across
iTunes, Google Play and other major retailers.
“Someday” is not just a story about heartbreak and rebound, musically it’s a journey of collaboration between a bunch of characters
seeking to make cool shit and have fun. On Someday, Marissa Licata’s violin plays the role of the narrator helping to bring listeners
through the various emotions as the story is being told. Another very notable featured artist on the record is top American Jazz
musician, James Genus, whose bassline nails down the groove in the record along with Anna Awe, who delivers the assertive hook.
3. On their single “Downtown,” S.C.R.D. once again teamed up with the “Mermaid,” world renowned violinist, Marissa Licata to craft an
exquisite tale of temptation, dedication, and pure, unabashed urban fun and frolic through her violin’s voicing.To lock down the groove,
this dynamic duo tapped Eddie Eyeball, bassist of 2 Skinnee J’s along with a young, talented singer/songwriter named EMCity.
For the “Downtown” video, Sweet Chuck and Ravin Dave examine that fragile balance between the daily grind of work life, social
obligations and the difficulties of finding time for personal relationships. The video begins with superstar NYC producer Dj Journey
dropping by to try to get Chuck to the studio, but he’s preoccupied and heading downtown. Life imitates art, and art blurs life, the
nights get longer, and the stakes get higher. When heading “Downtown,” sometimes the night doesn’t end, when the day begins.

PHONE SEXT (12/8/2015)
5. S.C.R.D. unofficially released a new track titled, “Under the Mistletoe” on ReverbNation, Soundcloud, and scrdnyc.com. This track is only
sampled beat that S.C.R.D. wrote a song to. It was originally an exercise on evening to with the goal of writing a Christmas song for the
neighborhood. It then turned into a local favorite, so the duo subtly dropped it again in 2015.
The musical bed is primarily a sample from Run-DMC, Christmas in Hollis, original recorded on November 25, 1987. Additional samples
include AC/DC, the Beatles and the Nutcracker. The song lyrics are original and tell a local story of what happens underneath the toe,
“the mistletoe!”
