Octobre formed in Quebec in 2004, originally called Oktober. The band started with Francis Collard, David Brunet, and Marc Brunet. They played folk-rock and built their sound through live shows.
In 2012, their single "Ça Prend Presque Rien" connected with listeners in Quebec. The song's straightforward melody and lyrics about small gestures in love gave the band wider attention. That same year they released their first album, L'Effet Miroir, which was nominated for a Félix Award in the folk album category.
They followed with albums like Effets Secondaires in 2014, Le Fil in 2016, and S'embrasser in 2018. Their music kept a folk foundation while touching on pop and rock elements across these records.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
