BLAME THE YOUNG
NEW ALBUM OUT SEPTEMBER 27TH 2024
AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW HERE ‘DEMONS’
NEW SINGLE OUT NOW
LISTEN HERE October Drift have announced an extensive UK & European headline tour running through October to December 2024. The 26-date tour will include their largest headline show yet which will take place at London’s Scala on November 5th. Tickets for all shows are available now here. The tour proceeds the release of their forthcoming third album Blame The Young, out September 27th via Physical Education Recordings. The album is a powerful record and is the band’s most personal yet. However, the songs are also universal, immediately captivating on a wider level spearheaded by frontman and guitarist Kiran Roy’s deft inclusive songwriting alongside the band’s infectious riffs, hooks and harmonies that run throughout the album. October Drift laid the marker for the new album with the release of the lead single, album opener, and title track, which quickly proved a radio hit being added to the Radio X playlist while also receiving strong support across BBC 6Music. Latest single ‘Demons’ released last week has also been quick to prove a hit with the stations picking up plays across Radio X and 6Music. Their potent music translates into impassioned, jaw-dropping high-energy live performances, which consistently prove to be captivating and hair-raising thrilling events. The same can be expected for this new run of shows later this year as the band unleash the imposing new songs of Blame The Young on the world. 2024 UK HEADLINE TOUR DATES

“A band very much in the zone and on the rise”
Chris Hawkins – BBC6 Music“Promising Somerset indie rockers”
The Observer “Deep vocals and booming guitars coalesce, charging up before launching into surprisingly catchy pop-edged choruses.”
Daily Star “Beautifully channelled ’90’s indie and alternative rock from Mudhoney’s harshness to Teenage Fanclub’s slacker melodicism.”
Louder “A form of hardcore that we love… Guitars everywhere but topped with melodies that would make entire stadiums sing”
Rolling Stone France “Bold and brash, tender and understated, and perhaps most importantly vital”
Clash “Both powerful and vulnerable at the same time”
Kerrang “A superb band with superb tunes”
