First of October is our one-day-a-year band.
We book a one-day, 12-hour recording session every first of October to write and record a 10-track album.

My guitar courses are available within the Guitareo membership :)
Also, my beginner course, GuitarQuest, is still available on it's own too

Thanks for being a fan of our one-day-a-year band! See you next year :)

My favorite part is when we made an album

[kodychesire]

I love how every year it always ends up with Andrew writing insanely beautiful songs while Rob tries to outdo the monster mash

[ragnarockerbunny]

Ruccia has extra "dad babysitting the kids" energy this go around. "I can't adjust the mic if you're talking into it, Rob" "No Rob, we can't multitrack the whole time" "The aircon is already on, it's 16 degrees"

Shoutout to my favourite studio engineer, hope he only has good days, what a king

[christinahamilton]

Andrew: **writes a heartwarming song about his daughter**
Meanwhile, Rob: *_I T ' S H A L L O W E E E E E E E E N_*

[TheFedgog]

"we've been a band for four days" that's really how these years have felt, grats on the fourth album, love the band

[Pulpxx]

Not many bands create 4 albums in their whole career and these guys have done it in 4 days.

[crediblefive]

i love the now tradition of andrew writing a beautiful heartfelt song about his daughter while rob is in the other room creating absolute chaos

[lux.projekt]

I love how serious their engineer is the whole time, meanwhile Andrew and Rob are having the time of their life.

[cadenmullins]

Andrew: “my voice is absolutely gone”
*10 seconds go by*
Andrew: “do you want me to howl on that?”

[RadicalRumin]

Props to Rob Ruccia for letting you guys do this every year. I'm sure these are his most challenging sessions.

[jimpikles]

The Juxtaposition of Andrew writing a sweet song about his kid, whilst Rob sings "ITS is brilliant.

[orkyporky]

Andrew Glitching out is genuinely hilarious.

[ChaosPootato]

I love the corrupted footage, it makes Andrew look ten times as excited as he actually was

[P-Tree]

Engineer rob deserves a fucking medal. Bouncing around the studio doing 6 jobs at once like a madman

[benjaminnathanson]

“I left my pants in Chicago” is the headbanger we didn’t know we needed. Hands down the catchiest song on the album.

[Qevox]

I love that moment when Andrew just explained the lyrics of the song in 15:50
"Are we still gonna be together?"
and Rob just replied:
"Yep. Every year. You gotta deal with it."
Such a wholesome moment <3

[Orbindo]

Andrew: “Yes, Rob is singing the rest of the songs!”
Andrew: *immediately sings the whole album* lol

[Allardjeifly]

Honestly, I like the bigger emphasis on backstage banter in this video, it's fun to see how they come up with everything and the back and forth. Not just between Rob and Andrew, but the others as well

[excromospherae]

One reason this works so well is how accepting Andrew and Rob are of each others' ideas. It's a good thing to keep in mind, including for me when I was in a band.
