Filipino alternative rock quartet Over October has spent a good chunk of their early days making a definitive bid for legitimacy with their brand of melodic and transcendent music. They started building their cred by playing for small gigs in bars such as Route 196 and Saguijo, before eventually headlining bigger venues and releasing two critically acclaimed records within the last 7 years: the delightful EP Free and the sonically arresting full-length album Press Play, both released under MCA Music Inc. in 2019.
Fast forward to 2021, Over October returns with a brand-new EP helmed during a time when everyone is navigating the pandemic with an uncertain future. Their latest EP, Maybe Today, Maybe Tomorrow is their answer to the ongoing crisis: a collection of songs that reflect their feelings, frustrations, and hopes during a tumultuous period in their respective lives.
“At the same time, we wrote the songs during the well-known, often-cliche, but still heavy-hitting quarter life crisis happening in our personal lives,” Josh Buizon (lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist) shares in a statement. “It speaks about the journey of loss, self-reflection, emotional and mental struggles, perseverance, and wanton joy despite things turning to shit. Some of these are in the context of love songs, but ultimately the message that we want to get across is that even though the world we live in is in chaos and the future seems so bleak, there is hope.”
