The Pacific Northwest never seems to run dry of exciting music. At once provocative and controversial, Octaman is a new artist who uses rock, reggae, blues and jazz influences to create unique and enjoyable tunes that highlight a potent lyrical message. Blending hard edged spiritual and social commentary into his ecclectic and bluesy sound, Octaman is an especially engaging force both on record and also on stage.
"...the topics are poignant, and the words give any thinking man pause for thought - much like the words of religious envelope pushing lyricists like Marilyn Manson and XTC. ...the music is interesting, the lyrics compelling, and Octaman's voice is a trembling vibrato-laden tenor that cuts through the music with flair and conviction. Heavy musical stuff that is as courageous as it is thoughtful."
