The October
Posted August 1, 2006 — in Higher Learning, Music News
Inventing a new style of music is the same thing as trying to re-write history. There are obvious established events that have affected everything that has happened after them. The only thing that can be done is to shape the future with the things we have seen, heard, and learned. According to vocalist Dustin Burnett, “I’m not scared to take on any band at this point. Our songs are critical to the heart…like a starving man needing a meal to survive. I won’t take that responsibility lightly.”
These are bold words and The October who hails from the depths of Kentucky is ready for the challenge. The October combines their influence from Brit Rock and 80’s new wave creating a sound that can only be traced back to them. Thanks to the internet and online social communities, The October has created a solid internet fan base that includes fans stretching from the UK to America. The new self produced LP Bye Bye Beautiful is filled with danceable rhythms, bright guitars, and melodic chorus’s as displayed in the track ‘Kings and Queens’ (Everyone is the King of the Crowd, Dancing Around the Room).

The october sounds like nothing I’ve ever heard before. they definately have influences from all over the map, but they put them together in a way that makes them sound like something completely undiscovered. Then they throw in their own certain je ne sais quoi, and there it is, folks–true originality. That being said, it’s no wonder that this band is indeed “on fire.” SO many props..I’m proud to say that I loved them before they hit it big, and they will. soon.
