Band of the week: October Drift

Generating mass momentum out of the south west, October Drift continue to turn heads with soaring rock atmospherics and an unshakeable vocal that will lead this band to glory. 

On the verge of releasing the Stranger Days EP via Scruff Of The Neck, the band take their captivating sonics on the road from early March - having already played at BBC Radio 6 Music Festival (read our review) and sold out their Manchester stop.   

Trading epic by epic, they often build to mind-blowing chasms of sound that ooze intensity and ambition. Amassing soundscapes that could topple of a Roman empire, their cornerstone lies in a vocal that recalls Matt Berninger to Liam Fray. 

Latest track 'Losing My Touch' has already forged almighty demand for the forthcoming EP and their upcoming tour dates will undoubtedly align them with the following they justify.
