BENTONVILLE, ARKANSAS, UNITED STATES, August 24, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 23, 2023

NW Arkansas Band Project 1268 Hitting Airwaves in U.K.
Northwest Arkansas’ hottest pop band Project 1268 is hitting the airwaves in the United Kingdom with their new song Bravery and Apathy. The song, which was released earlier this summer, has become quite popular with the British getting up to 20 plays a week on Britain’s largest Internet radio station Amazing Radio, along with plays in the U.S.

The song hits the rock segment with this remastered anthem and is gaining the attention of rock listeners and reviewers alike.

British music reviewer Tamera Jenna said the song was “a roaring statement of defiance, introspection, and raw power.”

“The song isn’t just about powerful music. It’s also about meaningful content,” she said. “The lyrics are thought provoking, demanding multiple listens to truly unpack the layers of meaning.”

In the true style of the band, “Bravery and Apathy” focuses on the thoughts of society and reflects the challenges between letting your voice be heard or remaining complacent in the challenges of the world.

The band was formed by the songwriting and performing duo of Craig Brown and Haley Webster, two high school friends from Oklahoma. The duo recently placed sixth in a national contest for the chance to perform in New York City.
Brown said it’s always amazing when they hear their songs get picked up by stations heard around the world.

“We can’t believe it sometimes. Our daily life goes by then we hear our songs are getting multiple plays on Britain’s largest Internet radio station. To think someone over there is driving along and listening to something we wrote and recorded is sometimes overwhelming,” he said.

Webster said each of their songs has their own message, but each one speaks to the same thing – connecting with human beings regardless of where they live.

“Our purpose in our lyrics is to connect with other human beings. To say, ‘I’ll start the conversation: here’s my experience.’ I reach out to them, and they hear my story; we are connected,” she said. “If that story resonates with them, it strengthens and encourages both of us because we feel understood and acceptable. Knowing that is powerful.”

“Bravery and Apathy” is the fourth song by the group to be picked up by the station this year. Other songs that have resonated with listeners both here in the U.S. and abroad include “Happiness” and “Put The Needle Down” as well as the album “Scarce Commodities.”

The new single and the group’s other songs are available on Spotify and many of their music videos can be seen on YouTube. For more information, visit the group’s website at www.project1268.com. The group can also be reached through Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. For bookings go to https://project1268.com/bookings or contact [email protected].

New Official Clue Board Game

Marmalade Game Studio and Hasbro Inc. are proud to announce the launch of Clue – available now on PC, iOS and Android!

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, August 23, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Open the door to Tudor Mansion and enter a world of crime, intrigue, suspicion… and secrets. Clue has arrived on Steam, iOS and Android, bringing Hasbro’s recently reimagined Clue board game to life in fully animated 3D.

Marmalade Game Studio, the video board game experts behind the popular 2016 release, Clue: Classic Edition, have matched Hasbro’s latest board game adaptation which includes refreshed and diversified versions of the infamous cast, highly stylized game pieces and the glamorous Tudor Mansion crime scene.

This new generation of Clue welcomes a new era of character depth and fully fleshed-out backstories. Detectives will unlock Case Files as they play, uncovering motives, evidence and more. This added dimension brings significance to the conclusion of every game as detectives find out what could have motivated every suspect to murder.

Marmalade’s additional Ultimate Detective game format allows detectives to examine all suspects at the same time, relying on their skills of deduction and intuition to get to the truth. Just like in a real inquiry, suspects may try to throw their interrogator off the scent, and it’s down to every detective to keep their investigation on track!

Cristina Mereuta, co-CEO of Marmalade Game Studio, said:

Clue is the most iconic murder mystery in the world and we are so excited to partner with Hasbro to bring the reimagined Clue to life like never before. Our aim is to take detectives beyond the board game and give them a new and exciting experience, while staying true to the brand. We have done this by introducing a new game format, called Ultimate Detective, that gets to the heart of what our players love: interrogation and strategy. We know that crime enthusiasts everywhere will be inspired and intrigued by all that Clue has to offer, and we can’t wait for them to get to work unravelling mysteries!

Eugene Evans, Senior Vice President, Digital Strategy and Licensing, at Hasbro, said:

The new CLUE video game demonstrates our continuing commitment to bringing our brands, stories, and experiences beyond the board to digital platforms. Earlier this year, Hasbro Gaming launched the next chapter of CLUE with a refresh to the iconic board game, reintroducing fans to the classic gameplay with new, rich takes on the storyline and an intriguing diverse cast. With the release of CLUE for PC and mobile from Marmalade Game Studio, we are thrilled that fans can now play this revamped CLUE experience digitally with friends and family near and far.

As the creators of premium board game titles on iOS, Android, console and PC, including Monopoly, The Game of Life, The Game of Life 2, Battleship and more, the Marmalade Game Studio experience never disappoints. Detectives will enter the Crime Scene with zero interruptions from adverts or pay-walls. The mystery is different every time, so the dedicated investigator will enjoy unravelling an almost-limitless supply of murder inquiries. And for those who wish to find out what happens next, there is the Black Adder Resort, an optional Case File. Detectives will travel to a luxury island resort, where they will find themselves in the next chapter of the story.

Detectives will find Clue now on Steam, iOS and Android. They can also follow Marmalade Game Studio on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to stay up-to-date with forthcoming content!

E3 Offroad

E3 Association

This unique and exhilarating occasion combines the nostalgia of school proms with the thrill of offroading, all for a noble cause.

MIAMI, FL, US, August 22, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — E3 OffRoad announced today a leading purveyor of online and offline hybrid Offroad and Overland membership programs, is thrilled to announce its role as a proud sponsor of the upcoming Girls Play Off-Road Adult Prom Charity Event. When the organization was first started, the founders thought what fun it would be to have a Jeep Prom. Everyone would dress up and wheel in a prom dress.

Thus began the Annual Prom Event. With a strong fundamental of the group of giving back to the community, founder, Jaimee Stecker-Betts, decided that not only would dresses be worn by those wheeling, but they would then donate the dresses to underprivileged teens.

Girls Play Off-Road is giving girls the chance to look like a beautiful princess once again. If parents are falling on hard times and having problems paying rent and/or bills, how could they afford to buy a prom dress for their daughter? Girls should not miss out on this life event because they cannot afford a nice dress. Over the last three years, the group has collected approximately 700 dresses.

In addition to collecting dresses at the Prom Event, Girls Play Off-Road reaches out to companies requesting donations for the raffle event held at the end of the day. All funds raised through the raffles are donated to a pre-designated charity. For 2023, the funds will be donated to Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent and devastating health challenges faced by women around the world. With the goal of making a meaningful impact in the fight against breast cancer, Girls Play Off-Road stepped forward to support the critical work undertaken by the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, renowned for its unwavering commitment to finding a cure for breast cancer and improving patient outcomes.

“Contributing to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation aligns perfectly with our company’s core values of giving back to the community and supporting important causes,” said Brian Johnson, CEO of E3 Association. “Breast cancer affects millions of lives, and we are committed to supporting Girls Play Off-Road at their Prom and the BCRF’s mission of eradicating this disease through research, innovation, and education.”

On the day of the event, everyone (men and women) wears a dress to the event and are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the event. Pictures are taken of all attendees individually and as a group, then the dresses are taken off and put into safe keeping before everyone heads out to the trails for a day of fun. During the event, the group’s administration team evaluates everyone’s participation in the event. Once everyone returns from a fun day on the trails, dinner is served while the raffle winners are announced. The event concludes with the crowing of the Prom King & Queen.

The 4th Annual Prom Event is being held at Rausch Creek Offroad Park in Pine Grove, PA on September 30, 2023. The event kicks off at 9:00 AM. Tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite.

https://www.eventbrite.com/checkout-external?eid=476868104337

Park fees must be paid to the park upon arrival. Primitive camping at the park is available at no charge.

New for 2023, a limited number of VIP packages will be available for those who want to add two additional days prior to Saturday’s event. Join GPOR founder, Jaimee, on this VIP package which consists of one day of wheeling at Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (“AOAA”), followed by dinner on Thursday, one additional day of wheeling at Rausch Creek Offroad Park on Friday, and a limited-edition Girls Play Off-Road hooded sweatshirt. Park fees are additional and paid directly to the respective parks.

With E3 Association’s unwavering commitment to social responsibility and community development, we are honored to join hands with the event organizers to support this noble cause. Our sponsorship not only reflects our dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of those less fortunate but also aligns with our core values of giving back to the community that has supported us throughout the years.

“We are extremely honored to be a part of this exhilarating Adult Prom event, which not only promises a weekend of unforgettable memories but also makes a meaningful difference in the lives of underprivileged children in the community,” said Josh Volpe, E3 Association’s Vice President of Marketing. “By joining hands with Girls Play Off-Road and fellow sponsors, we hope to raise substantial funds and help to support the needs of these young individuals, laying the foundation for a brighter future.”

Together, with the support of the community, sponsors, and participants, we can bring about a positive change in the lives of these young minds and empower them to reach their full potential. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the organizers and fellow sponsors for their efforts in making this event possible, as well as to all participants and attendees who have embraced the spirit of giving back.

About Girls Play OffRoad
Girls Play Off-Road was created to build a bigger female presence on the trails. As they have grown, they noticed that so many of OffRoaders have their families with them. Because of that, all of their events are focused on being family friendly. They are a non-exclusive group. Which means they are open to all OffRoad vehicles…including side by sides, quads & dirt bikes, regardless of who owns or drives them.

Girls Play OffRoad does not look at this as your typical “Jeep” group. They consider each other as family and being part of this family means you gain a lot of sisters & brothers that will keep you laughing with an immense amount of support for you during the best & worst of times.
