The October Game

My favorite band for the past few months has been The October Game. The October Game is an alternative/folk/americana/indie band from London, UK. Their LP Wildblood was released on February 22, 2010.


One review describes Wildblood as "lovingly constructed, technically flawless and at times fairly remarkable." I would describe it as "stinkin' amazing." The lead singer's voice is distinctly British, but the band's sound is American (think Counting Crows). However, the band employs a range of instruments, even didgeridoos, which makes its sound unique.

My favorite tracks are "Right On Time," "Concrete," "Greenbacks," and "Something Wrong," although I like all the songs. Family, this album is absolutely incredible, even inspring. I listen to the whole thing every day, no joke. I'm recommending it to everyone in the family.
