October Powder

About Me


The October Powder story dates back to 2005 when they burst onto the music scene amid a barrage of out of tune vocals, musical incompetence and partial nudity. However, much has changed since they released their debut EP entitled 'Shotgun Therapy' in 2006, and have been accompanied on stage by such musical acts as Bad Day Down, Yidcore, Bagster, The Resignators, Trial Kennedy, Front Counter, Horsell Common, The Getaway Plan, Stealing O’Neal and The Invitation among others. After building up their, now strong, all ages fan base, October Powder have just released their highly anticipated follow up to 'Shotgun therapy', 'Headed For Catastrophe'. This kickass compilation contains 7 blistering tracks including 'Black 13', 'Ska song' & 'Salvation in Stereo', which are all receiving radio airplay nationwide on various radio stations. In late 2008 & through to early 2009 October Powder plan to pack the van and take their explosive live show on the road. Hitting all major cities and regional regions of Victoria & NSW, make sure you catch October Powder when they come to a town near you!
