Description

Following the success of their debut album Forever Whatever, released at the start of 2020 and with a solid foundation built over years of touring and writing, October Drift affirmed their place as an important new presence, with their heavy, pop-inflected rock delivering a rejuvenating injection of fresh blood to the genre. The album was met with widespread critical acclaim on release, garnering praise from the likes of CLASH, Kerrang! Louder Than War and many more. ? Their newly released sophomore album 'I Don?t Belong Anywhere' - via Physical Education Recordings - is a taut, visceral record, a step forward for the band into an even more powerful, brutal sound. Far less introspective than their debut, 'I Don?t Belong Anywhere' is October Drift?s totem for bringing us all together again. ?A feeling of not belonging is something everyone feels or has felt,? explains vocalist and guitarist Kiran Roy

Having already thrilled audiences at festivals including Glastonbury?s John Peel Stage, Reading & Leeds and BST Hyde Park, as well as on a major European tour with Editors, We Are Scientists, Archive & Slow Readers Club, Forever Whatever, The Naked EP and the new album I Don?t Belong Anywhere together condense years of relentless touring and expertly crafted performance into showcases of flawless songwriting; statements of intent from a band more than ready to cement their place as future icons.
