S.C.R.D. - Feels Like (Official Video) is that uncanny, slightly awkward moment, your roommate, sibling, parent, friend, lover or neighbor walks in on you while dancing by yourself, in headphones, in a common area, like a bodega or c-store.

This new S.C.R.D. record is a break from their norm, a step left into the electronic medium in collaboration with DJ Journey & LA Fashion Photographer, Catherine Asanov, who recently stated, "I still don't get it." Nonetheless, her collaborators are pumped and excited for this release.

"Even though we just dropped an album "The Adventures Of" in December, which is doing great on Spotify and iTunes, we felt it was necessary to keep the momentum going with a release every month. We've subtly hinted at electronic sounds on our record "Legal Weed," which features soloed synths singing like voices for an entire instrumental single and album joint.

Besides, the sound has shifted. Honestly, the hottest sounds today are like what we used to make in our bedroom back in 2013-2014. Super lo-fi, good production, but not much movement or depth, sonically, even though playlist curators are so "in-tune" with this new sound. We don't really like to follow trends. We know what's good and cool, but we kinda just do our own thing. Love it, hate it, honestly, we appreciate either which every way you want to judge it.

Regardless, we write for history, eternity, and contemporary entertainment, education, and documentary purposes. Some people call what we do a borderline parody. In these times, we all need something to laugh at, seriously. We think that everyone is taking themselves too seriously. We like to have fun, and want to bring that back, to help bring us all together. Just dance.

Stream "Feels Like" on every major platform or hit up scrd.fun.

#BREAKINGNEWS: All Men Aren't Equal...

Open Your Eyes to the Patterns and the Sequels!

Friday, November 4, 2016 - New York City:  Breaking News is a refreshing perspective on an over saturated topic we've all seen time and again this year. Local actor and artist, Charles J. Jugans III., also known as “Sweet Chuck”, finally brings an honest “spin” on current events in “Breaking News.”

Unlike other contemporary music videos, major network news, or late night satire – Breaking News” is a real, unabashed and irreverent sketch , which happens to also be a kick ass song (the first of four singles off his forthcoming album titled, “The Adventures of…” due to release in 2017.

Sweet Chuck features Super Producer Dj Journey, and directly tackles fundamental philosophical, race, and gender and issues juxtaposed with facts and sources. In order to bring the song to life visually, the unlikely production duo enlisted New York based Rock and Roll photographer, Jason Sheldon and co-founder of S.C.R.D.Ravin Dave as co-directors to shoot and edit the short drama.  

Breaking News actually goes deeper beyond that of a typical music video or even a short film. This video captures individual characters, who are playing the roles of those delivering the news. As a result each character comes to life in an authentic and  vulnerable manner; in the roles where they are not allowed to break character when reporting the worse of news stories.

The music video represents and speaks directly to today's sharing culture, the participants of which often pass along informations and react to content without digging deeper or knowing anything greater than just headlines.

Charles J. Jugans, III. is a professional actor that plays the character of Sweet Chuck, an artist and co-founder of S.C.R.D. In the past, Charles played roles in both film and music videos including:  Alanis Morissette ”Unsent” and “Lucky Days,” directed by Anglica Page, as well as been featured in “Man on the Moon,” “Finding Forrester” and  many commercials. The character of Sweet Chuck is limitless, and fans are able to live vicariously through his character and adventures.
