Meet the…

FLAPJACK OCTOPUS!!

Also known as Opisthoteuthis californiana or adorabilis, the flapjack octopus is a species of umbrella octopus!

Named after how they squish down into a pancake like way on the sea floor, they cannot camouflage themselves because of their brightly colored bodies! (oh no:()

They grow to be around 20 inches, their diet is composed of small worms, crustaceans, and other invertebrates, and they live deep under the water on the muddy sea floor!

Their predators are sperm whales, sharks, and seals, however if they are in danger, they will just swim away.

Three of Hearts!

the freshest first-wave Octopunk band!! they only made music for 5 years but have had decades long impacts on both music and the world around them. shaping the Octopunk subculture, and the way octolings approach protesting against oppression.

Pacifica is the eldest sister, she is the heart of the band. she plays bass and does the community work.

Calypso is the second oldest, she is the body of the band. she sings, plays tambourine, dances, and hypes the crowd up

Abyssa is the youngest sister, she is the mind of the band. she write lyrics, plays drums, and manages finances/promotion.

aside from their high energy punk sound that makes you want to get up and jump around, their most famous or infamous legacy came from the way they would organize music festivals with fellow bands to educate the masses. they had ton of these Octopunk festivals and they were a massive success, unfortunately the most well known festivals ended in tragedy when the venue was raided by octarian army. no more festivals, just safe basement shows where nothing on that scale could ever happen again.

their lasting influence is the new wave of Octopunk, lead by the generation who was raised on the first wave. they now live in a better world that the OG Octopunks worked hard for, and still there is much room for improvement. the new wave has influences from other alternative genres such as Batfish and Seamo for a new generation with new problems

rock on as always
