Blue October is a band that Jessica introduced me to not long after we started dating with the song Calling You (which is now the main song for our relationship). Since then the two of us have started listening to them more and more, finding new music and information about them and they have become our favorite band together.
Blue October's music is amazing. They are more somber and mellow much of the time with dark, deep lyrics. They employ an electirc violin just as much or more often sometimes than any other instrument. They classify themselves rightfully under their own genre Bipolar Art Rock because they're music never stays in the same place for too long on an album. Also, the frontman for the group Justin Furstenfeld(singer/songwriter/guitar) suffered from an intense case of bipolar attacks for much of his life.
There music has such a subtle greatness about it that hooks me into each one of their songs. Simple yet intreguing drum beats, melodical violin that sometimes sounds like it is playing guitar riffs, and some complex lyric structures and meanings have me addicted to this band for life.
