Blue October is an American alternative rock band hailing from Houston, Texas. Founded by Justin Furstenfeld in 1995, the band has experienced significant evolution in both its membership and musical style over the years. Alongside Justin, who serves as the lead vocalist, guitarist, and lyricist, the line-up has included multi-instrumentalist Ryan Delahoussaye, bassist Matt Noveskey, and drummer Jeremy Furstenfeld, Justin's brother. The band first made a splash in the music scene with their angst-ridden 2006 hit "Hate Me," which introduced them to a mainstream audience and was followed by their platinum-selling album, "Foiled."

Over the years, Blue October's music has been a vessel for Justin Furstenfeld's deeply personal storytelling, marked by his struggles with depression, substance abuse, and relationships. The band's sound has transitioned from the darker, brooding tones of their early work to a more melodic, hopeful vibe, while still retaining their emotional depth. Their discography spans over nine studio albums, with a notable shift towards more introspective and redemptive themes in recent years. The titles of their recent releases, such as "Spinning The Truth Around" (in its multiple iterations) and "All I See Is You," encapsulate the band's enduring penchant for raw, poignant lyrics wrapped in richly textured musical compositions. Blue October continues to resonate with a wide fanbase, delivering powerful live performances and maintaining a strong presence in the alternative music landscape.
