About:
An uplifting adventure, October Sky has the power to propel explosive lights and sounds with an interactive spectacle over airwaves of unique creativity. With strong comparison to Muse, Radiohead & Coldplay, October Sky’s edge is making people jump off their feet and experiencing the higher limits of musicianship.
Their recently released album “Hell Isn’t My Home” in September 2008 accompanied with the support of their music video "Hit the Ground" that debut #4 on MusiquePlus and gaining rotation on MuchMusic Loud.
October Sky’s strong DIY determination and hard work are leading to great accomplishments. Their live shows are incomparable to many indie bands; being able to self produce high quality performances to crowds of over 400 fans in their hometown of Montreal. October Sky’s ability to independently bring their music to the world is simply undeniable.
Their second music video for "Hell Isn't My Home" is already in post-production and will be released later this year. October Sky’s “Hell Isn’t My Home” Canadian & US tour is set to kick off in September, seeing them tour extensively from coast to coast.
