The platinum-certified alternative band from Houston, TX—Justin Furstenfeld [vocals, guitar, songwriter], Jeremy Furstenfeld [drums], Ryan Delahoussaye [violin, mandolin, piano], Matt Noveskey [bass], and Steve Schiltz [guitar]—consistently evolves with every release. For their thirteenth studio album, tentatively titled Everything We Lost In The Fire, Blue October unlocks another creative masterpiece. “The heaviest times of our lives is when we have to make difficult decisions. Change can be a beautiful part of life if you celebrate it. This is me celebrating change in the loudest way possible,“ states frontman Justin Furstenfeld. After two years of nonstop recording and touring supporting Spinning The Truth Around Part I and Part II, you would think Justin and the band would want to take some time to themselves to rest and recharge. However, Furstenfeld immediately returned to his happy place in the studio where the creativity continued to flow and in a short period of time, a new album was born. Magic courses through the first single “Everything We Lost In The Fire,” a revealing story about having the courage to embrace change, spoken with big guitars and drums. This will be one of the heaviest sounding albums the band has ever released.
