Hey everyone :)
Here's the track "Same Old Game" off the new First of October album!

This year we went with a video game theme, using old game consoles for some of our instruments.

We're releasing a cassette this year too and all of you will have your names printed in its packaging as a thank you. The cassette packaging which will mimic an old school game cartridge with a guidebook included. Patrons will be credited as developers in that guidebook :)

Normally, we would have the album and video out by now. But given covid amongst the team, we had to push everything back to a Nov 16th release.

So here's one of the tracks just for patrons before it reaches the internet :)
This one started with a harmonizer pedal Andrew brought in, some bear bells, lyrics in the video game theme and ends with a synth line that's coming out of a Super Nintendo's sound chip.

Hope ya dig it!
Really appreciate you all!

I was on the hunt for First of October albums earlier this month, but they only seemed to be on streaming. I hope y'all release them on Bandcamp or on your own sites someday because I don't use any spotify or any of those streaming services.

Hey! I think us patrons get WAV downloads for all the albums! Search “first of october” or “FOO” and you should be able to find them!

Thanks for the suggestion, but I was looking for a link I could share as part of a social media post (I was sharing links to my favorite halloween albums and wanted to include Chaos). Also, I did a Patreon search and only found 3 albums (2022, 2021, and 2020). Those are the three I already have in my collection, but I think there are 5 out there. Maybe they aren't available for my Patreon tier, but I wouldn't mind buying them if they were available.

Will you be doing another interview with Rob Ruccia after this release? They’re definitely videos I go back to quite often.

Aristea Juniper (they-she)

love the vibe of this song, feels like somewhere between adventure time and midwest emo!!! absolutely love that you used old video game hardware as an instrument :)

RobScallon

I love those videos as well, but we only have Rob R available for a really short time this year. He's a lot busier nowadays with touring as he's the tour manager for the band NonPoint, Which includes Rasheed Thomas on guitar. For this year he basically carved time to get back to Chicago for FOO, immediate mixing/mastering and then he's hopped right back into touring. So unfortunately he won't be available this year for an interview.

Thank you! using the game consoles this year was a huge push of inspiration and we use it all over the album. This one has a special place on the tracklist for me as it has that midwest emo vibe.

hey rob, incredibly excited for this!! it sounds great so far. looking forward to the video! also, will crowded rooms vinyls be restocked at some point? i missed my chance to scoop it and was just wondering, thank you, andrew, and crew for all your work!! 🙏

Jonty Beales

This is an absolute dream!!! I love this track and I can't wait to see you create the others! Not only that but a cassette by you and Andrew with our names on it?! I love cassettes so this is amazing!

Cal aka Fresh

One love Rob, y'all are the best. :)

Kristian Nowak

is the booklet just patron names or will it also have lyrics in it too?

RobScallon

It will be a full guidebook with lyrics, some extra info on songs, “cheat codes” songwriting hacks and scales we use :) Trying to make it like a video game guidebook best we can

RobScallon

Thank you! We’re actually having some trouble with those vinyls at the moment with the plant unfortunately. So I’m actually not sure myself

Split Decision

Wicked album, man; I loved it so much in fact, I subscribed to my first ever Patreon! Now out of curiosity-since it's still November, would I be part of the album manual like it says? Or was there a deadline for that? Or is it only available for a certain level of...Patreonage? Is that a word? Like patronage? Oh well, it is now! Hahaha! I thought I left a comment before but can't find it now.🤷‍♂️
