First of October

First of October is an American-Canadian indie rock duo formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 2018. It was formed between musical YouTubers Rob Scallon and Andrew Huang from an idea where they would go into a recording studio and write and record a 10-track album in a 10-hour recording session. After their first album Ten Hours, each subsequent album recording session was increased to 12 hours. The duo's name is derived from the date they recorded their first album. The band has recorded and released seven albums of the sort since 2018, with plans to repeat the project annually.
