Music Company Shockoenoise Battles Mischievous Water Demons for Delta Faucet
ShockoeNoise, the innovative music company launched in February, has created the track for a new spot for Delta Faucet. The music is a perfect complement to the spot's hilarious creative that reveals the true reason people get scalded in the shower.

The spot begins with our hero happily singing in the shower. That is until a nearby toilet flushes, causing the water pressure to drop. Our hero curiously looks up at the showerhead. Meanwhile, just inside the showerhead, thousands of tiny water people, controlled by one particularly mischievous leader drop, prepare to scald the daylights out of him. What's worse, they appear to be taking great delight in their task.
Well, have no fear – Delta is here. While "water may think this is funny," Delta doesn't. That's why Delta invented Scald Guard, a device inside every Delta shower that prevents water from abruptly changing temperature. Just one of the many ways Delta "works wonders with water."
The music for the Delta spot was crafted by ShockoeNoise's David Lowery, with sound design and mix courtesy of sister company Rainmaker Studios.
