Biography

RSS
October Faction was one of the many off-shoots of seminal punk band Black Flag, led by guitarist Greg Ginn. A supergroup of SST alumni that mixed jazz and hard rock mainly as an instrumental vehicle. Never an actual working band as much as an occasional jam band, they made two albums both released on the SST label in 1985 and 1986. The unofficial lineup included contributions from Bill Stevenson, Henry Rollins, Joe Baiza, Chuck Dukowski, Tom Trocolli, Greg Cameron, and the ever-present ringleader, Greg Ginn. ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide
