[NOISE-ROCK] + SAT, NOV. 15 Octagrape like to describe their music with cutesy terms like "hazy rabbits foot jams," but what they really deal with is searing noise. The only way I can see a rabbit's foot as a metaphor for Octagrape is to imagine the silky fur as it transitions

There are certain bands that have oddly flown under the radar for entire generations of music snobs - bands that you've heard of, sure, but not any band that you'd ever be caught actively listening to. I saw one of those dopey "Did You Know?" factoids on a '70s music
