Cacophonous, feedbacking guitars and distorted, near whispered vocals make up the majority of the lo-fi brilliance that is demo/EP by new local band October. Over many dissonant layers of guitar noise the vocals on breathe in/breathe out are equally spine tingling and give an anchor to the frequently chaotic soundscape behind them.  Coupled with a grab bag of pop-infused hooks, the ten minutes and three songs of demo/EP leave the listeners ears aching for another fix of guitar noise goodness. Music lovers across Winnipeg, do yourself a favour and get in on the ground floor of what promises to be one of the most interesting and exciting bands to come out of the heart of the continent in a long time.
