Based out of Texas the band is made up of C.B. Hudson III, Jeremy Furstenfeld, Justin Furstenfeld, Matt Noveskey, and Ryan Delahoussaye. They are a great group of guys who constantly sign autographs and pose for pictures with their fans. Their music is thoughtful and painfully honest and, because of those qualities, extremely relatable.
Currently Blue October has six albums out with another one on the way in March 2009. Of the six out now, two of those are live albums, and let me tell you, they are awesome. With many bands today live concerts are an issue filled with "secret" lip-synching or just plain terrible singing/playing due to their overproduced albums. Blue October, however, sounds almost exactly the same live as they do on their CDs. The instruments sound awesome and Justin Furstenfeld's voice rarely fails to impress.
Of all of Blue October's music probably the song that is most recognizable is "Hate Me". An angry and apologetic song fueled by the thought of failing one's family and friends amongst other themes. Furstenfeld, who writes most of the band's songs, has offered explanations for this song and others but often prefers to allow the fans to interpret on their own. If "Hate Me" is the only song you've ever heard by Blue, you should definitely check out more of their songs, I bet you'll like it!That's all for now folks but if you'd like some more information here's a few sites to check out:
