Today’s song is anotherAnother Year reviews
from the Toronto, Ontario indie-rock band Octoberman; on a side-note, Octoberman is tied with Green Go for my favorite music discovery of the year. The Backlash can be found on the band’s third full-length release “Fortresses”, which was released in Canada on September 1st of this year and in the US on October 1st. The band is currently on a Canadian tour, which can be followed via their tour blog on Exclaim!’s website here.
I, I really loved your band
I, I was your biggest fan
Though people in party shirts
Are saying words
That can really hurt
I thought you were pretty good
Your words, I think I understood
Your voice came through in the secret code
But it’s just too bad
You never hit the road
‘Cause people really hate your band
And they write about you when they’re online
Joining in on the backlash
I guess they choose to waste their time
Ripping on your band
On your band
On your band
This is the backlash
On your backlash
