Getting started is always the hardest part, but that’s just where Figure Eight is at: the very beginning. They released “August EP” in July 2015, just in time for August. The EP is only 26 minutes long with seven songs, including a track named “Buffy 16” in honor of 90’s fictional vampire slayer Buffy Summers. Figure Eight performed at a College Media Journal event in October 2015 without the help of a promoter, and they are now in rotation at many college radio stations around the U.S. thanks to Portland-based Distiller Promo. This garage rock band is finally getting the debut they deserve, and, considering that they have less than 300 likes on Facebook, the only way to go is up. We, at RadioX, are excited to both chart them to the top and play their music at our station.
You can find “August EP” on Spotify and Apple Music.
