So i got this record in the mail today, and of course i was expecting the worst based on the fact that i generally hate new bands and ones that are looking for the “blog buzz”. But i was pleasantly surprised with this record.
The Octagon is a three piece indie band that hails from New York. This album is full of stripped down indie rock songs all clocking in for the most part under 3 mins. This is a good thing that most bands fail to realize this day in age. People think the longer the song the better it is, not the case. Every song on this record (17 in all!), is chuck full of catchy vocal melodies, driving guitar work with a nice lo-fi sound and all around great indie rock sensibility. I could see this band gaining great popularity with the current trend in the world of indie rock these days but these guys are a cut above the rest. I would like to check these guys out live they seem like a fun time.
Check out some tunes on the bands MySpace page.
