Glen Galloway – guitar/vox
Jason Begin – guitar/vox
O – bass
Ely Moyal – drums

Mild case of stunted spontaneous combustion.  Glen Galloway had a handful of weird hooks/songs he didn’t know what to do with.  He started playing solo & duo shows in San Diego early 2012.  Omnipresent skate photog magnate O Bartholomew caught wind & asked to play bass.  They immediately called drummer Ely Moyal (Glen & Ely having been half of Trumans Water for the first three TW records).  By the summer the songs were spilling everywhere, & Jason Begin started recording them on an old 1/2″ tape.  Near the end of the sessions he joined the band as guitar mangler.  Four sonic elders…all of whom felt the rush of being in a fully firing non-project BAND that played together constantly.  The songs started to re-form around the players, & the live sets caught fire.  2013 saw the release of a self-produced 7″ and the “Red UFO” debut LP, as well as tours of US/Canada.  Early 2014 sees Octagrape touring east & south, & releasing their “Emotional Oil” EP on Sounds Familyre.  And cramming their 4-track full of songs for their next full-length.
