Alternative rock powerhouse Blue October has been steadily growing a dedicated fan base since their debut release in 1998. Often referred to as “experimental” rock, the band’s music has been featured on soundtracks including The Sopranos and So You Think You Can Dance. Their first single from 2006’s Foiled, “Hate Me,” offers a stepping stone from regret to hope and became the surprise modern rock anthem of the year, spending 16 weeks in the Top 10 charts. The follow-up single, “Into the Ocean,” became a crossover success, propelling Foiled to platinum status and prompting performance invites from Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel, and Conan O’Brien, as well as opportunities to play shows with Jane’s Addiction, The Shins, and The Rolling Stones.

With Blue October’s latest album, Approaching Normal, frontman Justin Furstenfeld moves his band forward into confident new territory as a songwriter and storyteller. Steve Lillywhite, the producer synonymous with U2 and winner of five Grammy Awards, guided the way, and the result is an album that breaks the mold of alternative rock. Approaching Normal gives the Houston-based band an opportunity to redefine their musical range with the passionate focus of “Dirt Room,” the gripping growl of “Say It,” and the pop-optimism of “Jump Rope.” The new album boasts many new influences from alternative to punk, but also surprising pop and classic rock tendencies, epitomizing Blue October’s experimental nature.
