Blue October, Foiled Full Album Zip REPACK
Kathryn Dilorenzo
Blue October was formed in 1996 when lead singer and guitarist Justin Furstenfeld and his brother, drummer Jeremy Furstenfeld, got together with their friend Ryan Delahoussaye, who played several instruments. They later added C.B. Hudson, a guitarist and singer, and Matt Noveskey, a bass player. Hudson had been influenced by heavy metal and blues. Delahoussaye was a classically trained violinist who played in a country style and whose onstage presence was in sharp contrast to the popular notion of a violinist: he wore glued-on devil horns and had a dragon tattoo on his back. Noveskey's background was in R&B and funk. Although Jeremy Furstenfeld had never played drums until the band's first album, he found that he had a knack for drumming and expanded his skills with each of the group's albums. Justin Furstenfeld, who went to a performing arts high school, wrote most of the band's songs and was known for his sharply painful and honest lyrics.
