[INTRODUCING] October Drift

We've been following the band for a little while now and after we heard their latest track "Still Here" we just had to write more than just a news article on them! Located down in the depths of the South West of England the band have been making a name for themselves for a while now and after "Still Here" dropped there was a frenzy of media attention all over them.



They've managed to do a sold-out headline tour before the release of a début album and have been working hard on filling bigger venues all over the UK on their current tour, one show for example was at Sheffield's Leadmill venue, which always sees the best up and coming acts from round the UK stopping by.

Their sound is a blend of post-rock, post-punk and some experimental elements combined with some distinctive vocals and a dash of synth and fuzz too. The band have just released their new EP "Stranger Days" via Scruff of the Neck Records and after heading it we're predicting they'll be filling big venues within the next year or so! You need to check them out!

October Drift Announce Second Single

October Drift have announced their second single, You Are You Are, due out on May 18th.

Despite the single only being their second, the four-piece have managed to cause quite a stir with most of their tour tickets being sold through word of mouth alone and their debut doing a lot of the talking - resulting in the tour selling out. Now, You Are You Are, is ready to pick things up with a larger sound.

Taking influence from psychedelic movements, lo-fi riffs and distorted vocals, their knowledge and inspiration from others has all come together in a track which draws comparisons to Radiohead, Joy Division and so many more influential musicians. Their sound is almost industrial in this with ear-pricking moments that urge you to pay attention. 

You Are You Are is available through self-release on May 18th and is also available for pre-order here, where you receive handmade CD packs. The band are also going on tour around the release of the single and you can catch them on the following dates:

May

6th - The Cavern, Exeter

7th - Oporto, Leeds

8th - Plug, Sheffield

22nd - Dot 2 Dot Festival, Manchester
