A new CD
Blue October (the Foiled album) has now taken up residence in my CD player. If you heard their song Hate Me and didn’t care for it, fret not, I was right there with you. The rest of the album however, is phenomenal.
I was shocked to learn that they are a Texas indie rock band originally from Houston. I hear a heavy 80's British influence. So much so that if a 25 year old Peter Gabriel hit the alternative scene today, Blue October is what he’d sound like (in fact, the lead singer sounds damn near identical to him at times).
If you dig Gabriel (with maybe the tiniest hint of Weezer), you’ll really dig the Foiled album.
I’m impressed.

2 Thoughts On The Subject
As I am a fan of the geek rock, this sounds like something I could enjoy. Yes?
Ya know, it's really odd music in a good way and I'm so into that. I think you would dig it too. Heh, I still owe you for turning me on to Jack Johnson.
