This isn\u2019t necessary a bad thing. If you\u2019re into The Jesus and Mary Chain and <a href=\"http:\/\/stylusmagazine.ca\/2013\/05\/21\/my-bloody-valentine-m-b-v\/\" target=\"_blank\">My Bloody Valentine<\/a>, October\u2019s three songs will give you exactly what you are looking for. Unfortunately, if you don\u2019t dig down tempo washes of reverb and angsty, whisper-soft vocals you probably aren\u2019t going to find a lot on this disc to like. I for one love the influences they are drawing from. The <a href=\"http:\/\/octobernoise.bandcamp.com\/album\/demo-ep\" target=\"_blank\">three tracks<\/a> on this disc make me want to catch this band live and also pique my curiosity as to what they would do on a longer album. Would they use the room to experiment beyond confines of their chosen genre? Or would they continue to stick this close to the work of artists that defined the sound? Despite enjoying the EP, I can admit that October doesn\u2019t really bring anything new to the table. But it is well worth checking out if you wanna take a trip back in time to a world where the skies are always grey and gettin\u2019 sad was still good fun.
