The Texas quintet Blue October formed during the post-grunge boom of the mid-’90s when vocalist/guitarist Justin Furstenfeld began penning angst-ridden rock songs with the help of his brother, drummer Jeremy Furstenfeld, and violinist Ryan Delahoussaye. Blue October released an independent debut album, The Answers, in 1998. Two years later, Blue October made their major-label debut on Universal with Consent to Treatment.
By the time Blue October began prepping for their third album, 2003’s History for Sale, the band had left Universal for Brando Records. The album’s first single, “Calling You,” became a Top 40 hit thanks to its inclusion on the American Wedding soundtrack, and Universal re-signed the band in the wake of such newfound success.
Blue October’s next studio album three years later, Foiled, which was issued in April 2006 and went platinum one year later. They returned with two albums in 2011, Ugly Side: An Acoustic Evening with Blue October and the darker Any Man in America. The group’s seventh studio album, the PledgeMusic-funded Sway, followed in 2013.
On February 13, 2015, the band announced that they were starting work on their 8th studio album. The album is expected to be released April 22, 2016. The title track and first single Home made its radio premier December 16, 2015.
