‘Blame The Young’ is a taste of the band’s forthcoming third album due to be released later this year. It is expected to see the band continue to reach new heights following the release of the widely praised I Don’t Belong Anywhere in 2022.

October Drift have connected with a raft of new audiences over recent months. They conquered their biggest stages yet to capacity arenas across Europe in support of Archive at the end of 2023, while last month they returned to European shores for another heated run of shows with Ist Ist.

“Promising Somerset indie rockers”

The Observer

“Deep vocals and booming guitars coalesce, charging up before launching into surprisingly catchy pop-edged choruses.”

Daily Star

“Beautifully channelled '90's indie and alternative rock from Mudhoney’s harshness to Teenage Fanclub’s slacker melodicism.”

Louder

“A form of hardcore that we love… Guitars everywhere but topped with melodies that would make entire stadiums sing”

Rolling Stone France

“Bold and brash, tender and understated, and perhaps most importantly vital”

Clash

“Both powerful and vulnerable at the same time”

Kerrang

“A superb band with superb tunes”

Louder Than War

“A band very much in the zone and on the rise”
