At first blush, Since October is your average Linkin Park-esque, modern rock outfit. The band’s album, This Is My Heart, boasts rhymes so loud and riffs so fierce they’d make P.O.D. proud. So if you appreciate Linkin Park, P.O.D. and their contemporaries, this is a band you ought to check out.
You’ll want to leave the softer tracks for listeners with more sensitive ears. Since October is far from the rap-rocking norm; these songs are lush, melodic and downright pretty—a style even the most talented rap-tinged alt-rock bands have trouble conquering. Since October has done so, and listeners will learn the band is at its best when the members rest their vocal cords and calm down.
