    This baby is a scorcher. Taking a cue from two of my favorite bands – The Misfits and Hagfish – 800 Octane don’t skimp on the rock or the whoa-whoas. Just by checking out the cover you know you’re in store for some gritty rock and roll. They look like an army of friggin’ Frankensteins! Don’t know if 800 Octane play in that garb but the music hits you like a mad scientist’s creation, that’s for sure. Lots of thrashing, pounding, and stomping, just how it should be, baby. And, it never gets cheesy. That’s key. Very impressive debut, well, at least I think it’s a debut. I could be wrong. Definitely worth your time and energy. (Mr. F. Alexander / Fat City Magazine)

    We got our “thanks but no thanks” letter from MusicFest NW today. That makes a total of 5 denials in a row for NXNW and/or MusicFest NW. Sadly we still aren’t considered worthy of representing the NW music scene.

    Thanks to everyone who came out early to the H2O show to support us! In case you were wondering who the rock machine on drums was that was David from the Rhythm of ’84. We are however still looking for a full time drummer – if you think you can play drums for 800 Octane send us an e-mail!
