Octaves will be releasing its Bridge Nine debut (and one of my favorite heavy releases of the year), Which Way The Wind Blows, next week. Today, we're bringing you an exclusive premiere of one of the album's finest tracks, "Poppycock." It's a chaotic blend of hardcore and melody and if you fancy yourself a fan of bands like Pianos Become The Teeth and La Dispute, then you'll adore this. Check it out in the replies or over at the band's AP.net profile. If you like the tunes emerging from your computer's speakers - and you will - make sure you pre-order the LP here.

Octaves' upcoming tour dates can be found in the replies.

Head to AltPress to stream a new Octaves song called "Premature Congratulations." If you like what you hear, pre-order Which Way The Wind Blows via Bridge Nine Records - it drops April 16th.
