ROCKTOBER

For some reason or other October is associated to ROCK with hundreds of radio stations, websites and big companies dedicating hours of rock updates, new song releases and trivia throughout the month. It could be because the lazy outdoor vibe of summer is over at this time of the year and people prefer to stay indoors. Thus, the closed surroundings and lack of sun induce people to mosh so as to simulate the hot sticky feeling of summer. Many people, including myself, adapt a punkier style of clothing too. I'm sure you've already spotted young people wearing warm checked scarfs and a pair of Vans or Converse shoes (Oh! How I love my Vans!!). Whatever the reason, you must admit it does sound better than Ruly! Scooby Snack anyone?



In tribute to this rock-worthy month I will set my music player to a rock style selection later on this weekend and also remind you all of another greatly anticipated album to be released on October 6th. I didn't mention it before because it's already got a lot of articles and band interviews about it on the world wide web. But, I can't not spare a word or two especially since the first single from the album was released only this week!

The Album: DIG OUT YOUR SOUL
The Artist: OASIS

The guys are back after two years and it seems are in "rocking form". Being one of Britian's legendary rock icons is no easy title to hold. The band members were always relaxed about their music with a lot of their songs verging on the acoustic edge and their lifestyle and attitude causing them to lose popularity especially in America. This is their first album with no acoustic songs and feels a bit more rock 'n' roll than their previous albums. It's not that the group had a particular focus in mind. According to them they just wanted to make "an absolutely fucking colossal album." And with the release of their first single 'The Shock of the Lightning' it seems that they may have done just that!



If only Blur would reunite though. That truly would be a Rocktober worth celebrating!
