THE OCTOBER FACTION

"Ok. So if you're looking at this record you know what it is. But I'm gonna explain it anyway. This group is comprised of BLACK FLAG members Greg Ginn on guitar, Chuck Dukowski on bass and vocals, SACCHRINE TRUST guitarist Joe Biaza, Tom Troccoli on lead vocals, and featuring Descendents and then-Black Flag drummer Bill Stevenson on drums filling in for The Nazi Sex Doctor Greg Cameron. So, this band was a jam band. They hit the stage with no planned songs, and simply improvised a half hour set to open the night. Though the cd lists seven songs, they are all on one continious track and there are no stops here, come on it's a JAM. I really think this is a great album if you'r into jam type stuff, with the "Todo Para Me" and "Bad Acid" sections standing out to me as the highlights. Most people have not even heard of this group, and if they have they don't like them. Both of their albums are out of print, but you can get them here for under five dollars easy. So if you have any intrest in jam bands or any of the bands mentioned above that comprise the Faction, I reccomend picking this up."
