“Won’t you come back home? Well, I don’t think so.” This telling exchange from Octoberman's “Run From Safety" (release date: Aug 21, 2007) epitomizes the ethos of Octoberman’s Marc Morrissette.

These insights would soon become the basis of Octoberman’s outstanding 2005 debut, These Trails Are Old and New.
