"If you can't handle it, don't mess with it. You either get it or you
don't....like rock'n'roll. If you don't get it, you can't explain it to
somebody. And if you get it, it's obvious." --Billy Zoom
October Allied has crafted a unique sound that combines vintage tones and modern songwriting.
Their music straddles the past and the future of rock-and-roll. Masters of post-punk modernism who have become serious students of blues, country, jazz, r&b, and soul, the band’s honest reverence of their musical heritage is unmistakable, but never takes the form of revivalism.
Formed in 1999 after a chance reunion of east coast expatriates in an Oakland bar, October Allied has built a reputation as a live band that is not to be missed through countless performances around the San Francisco Bay Area and western US.

this may look like just 4 easy steps to climb....but these 4 steps leading to the stage of Fat City (or steps to any stage anywhere) are not easy steps.....the difference from standing in the audience as a fan and taking these 4 steps as a musician is plenty big.....October Allied made it up the steps......many a time....
