History
Nick and William Roberts began the project with a purpose of creating hard hitting, head-banging tunes, stadium rock anthems, and majestic ballads to satisfy even the most avid rock fan.
Returning from an inspiring trip to Los Angeles in late 2008, the brothers set about finding musicians to complement their style of songwriting. Drummer Rory Bratby and Guitarist Tim Ciantar were those musicians.
The newly formed October Rage would travel to Melbourne to record their debut single "Silver Line" with producer Adrian Hannan (Taxiride, The Androids, at The Song Store. The track would be mastered by Martin Pullan (Deep Purple, Ritchie Blackmore) at Edensound.
October Rage would enter "Silver Line" in a competition held by Australian radio station Triple M Sydney and win to play along with Bon Jovi on their world tour at the Sydney Football Stadium in December 2010.
