About
Alt-rock Texan natives Blue October have risen through the ranks to become a platinum-selling rock band since forming in 1995 with a body of work that includes modern rock hits like 'Dirt Room' and the #1 VH-1 smash, 'Into The Ocean.' Best known for their hard-hitting 2006 single 'Hate Me', which documents lead singer Justin Furstenfeld's battles with depression and substance abuse, the band are recognized for their angst-ridden post-grunge anthems and frank discussion of personal issues and cite the likes of Creed and Nirvana among their main musical influences.
