October Man, previously known as Spanish Pigeon Cheese, Gang$ta $auce, and Brent and the Brentlings have been pulverizing the indie rock scene of Asbury Park, New Jersey since they were a mere October Boy. The band features Ethan Bodner (guitar), JD Leidersdorff (guitar/vocals), Ian Neill (bass), Anthony Abboud (keys/drums), and Joey Murphy (keys/drums). Most of the band has been playing together for nearly a decade, with Neill being a recent addition. From the first meeting in preschool to Senior year in high school, the lifelong connection between the members is present in their sound. October Man released their debut single, Matchstick in July of 2024, followed by their second single “Vessel” and their final single “Dandelion” ahead of their EP release in November.
