Thanks for being a fan of our one-day-a-year band! See you next year :)
ITS FINALLY DROPPED
ALREADY???
a year ago ithought the first of october topic was hacked cause there was a new profile picture and a song i hear that song this year with vocals its ite though
thanks for the awesome content!
GOOD JOB
My favorite part is when we made an album
My favourite part is when you guys blessed us with another incredible video. Love you guys!
My fav part is where you played an instrument
this has become some sort of a personal tradition for me now
i also like that part
Lmao
I love how every year it always ends up with Andrew writing insanely beautiful songs while Rob tries to outdo the monster mash
when they were cutting between rob’s heavy song and andrew writing beautiful lyrics about his daughter that was my favourite part
It's an album that can do both.
lol well stated
Rob is doing The Scene Is Dead Pt. II
Andrew: songs about being left behind by the people in his life
Rob: "Ravioli. Ravioli-oli now."
Andrew: **writes a heartwarming song about his daughter**
Meanwhile, Rob: *_I T ' S H A L L O W E E E E E E E E N_*
Last year was even wackier. My man Rob was doing Granddad's Dinner Party while Andrew was composing a song for his daughter lol
Rob is the guy that keeps the spirit up, He’s a pro at keeping that high energy the entire time
I mean, as sweet as the daughter song was, the Halloween song was AWESOME.
And both times, all he contributed to the song was drums!
It was the cutting back and forth for me😂
Andrew: “my voice is absolutely gone”
*10 seconds go by*
Andrew: “do you want me to howl on that?”
Rightttt. How?
Scammmmm
@UCcf2fONQpMOU-r-AzGlS4dwDon't listen to @MalformeTrooper2 ma'am! You're not a acammer! Please respond to this comment and I'll send you as much shipping costs as you need 💕
Ruccia has extra "dad babysitting the kids" energy this go around. "I can't adjust the mic if you're talking into it, Rob" "No Rob, we can't multitrack the whole time" "The aircon is already on, it's 16 degrees"
Shoutout to my favourite studio engineer, hope he only has good days, what a king
The poor man is the unsung hero of these albums. I don't think any other Engineer would do it haha
It's nice when you can afford to pay someone to be the adult in the studio! (so you don't have to be, that's why!)
I think he said 69 degrees, 16 would be a lil chilly in Fahrenheit XD
@@TheBanana93 I mean, judging by the interview of him that Rob did, he seems to enjoy it
Kinda like George martin
Not many bands create 4 albums in their whole career and these guys have done it in 4 days.
Black sabbath created their first 2 in 1 day each. Although, with the exception of Paranoid all the songs were already written.
Wouldn't it technically be less than 2? Weren't the first two done in 10 hours? I can't remember for the third one. But I think their total time as a band would be either 42 or 44 hours.
@@Vaxilion 1 was done in 10 hours and 2/3 were done in 12 hours
World record hello?
@@USSCYT not even close to the same thing
Props to Rob Ruccia for letting you guys do this every year. I'm sure these are his most challenging sessions.
I think ruccia also mentioned that the FOO sessions were one of his favorites and he was legitimately bummed when they couldn't do it for 2020.
Honestly Rob Roosh is the third member of the band, what he does is just as important, skilled, and impressive as the musicians and I'm thrilled they have him
What's funny is that we wasn't that into it at first and more like : "what ?". Now he's so excited.
His talent to roll with the energy and offer great advice while keeping out of their way is incredible. Definitely agree with the other commenters that he's just as critical a piece of the equation.
I know maybe it would be too risky a move to mess with the formula, but Jessica Burdeaux is also extremely talented and jives well with their vibe, I'm hoping they get her in for one of these as well sometime.
@@alicecubensis1221 she was one of the camera operators
"we've been a band for four days" that's really how these years have felt, grats on the fourth album, love the band
i love the now tradition of andrew writing a beautiful heartfelt song about his daughter while rob is in the other room creating absolute chaos
yes 100%
It happened with Grandad's Dinner Party and Miracle lol
@@zerostring3515 that's his point exactly
yea XD
@@zerostring3515 also with Valerie and the "I put my mortgage in my cats name" although that didn't get turned into a full song
Andrew Glitching out is genuinely hilarious.
at 20:05 its like hes being electrocuted
i thought i was having a stroke
I thought that was a edited bit to, for some deliberate reason, look like stop motion animation
I thought my roku was bugging out
in Andrews vid it looks totally like an intentional edited effect haha now i know it's just corrupted footage
Engineer rob deserves a fucking medal. Bouncing around the studio doing 6 jobs at once like a madman
I love the annual tradition of "cut between Andrew making something beautiful and heartfelt, and Rob doing something delightfully dumb"
The Juxtaposition of Andrew writing a sweet song about his kid, whilst Rob sings "ITS HALOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN" is brilliant.
Same thing as last year! Rob was putting together Grandpa's Dinner Party while Andrew wrote Miracle. They also happened to be my two favourites from that album
Also the juxtaposition between Rob screaming and Andrew just thoughtfully and wordlessly writing words.
I just had deja vu lol
deja vu
I love how serious their engineer is the whole time, meanwhile Andrew and Rob are having the time of their life.
ultra focus
Engineer is their employee?
@@GizzyDillespee Rob feels more like a team member than a hired engineer but you are technically correct.
Include Rooch on the album art. He's integral
It's because these kinds of sessions are hell for an engineer, haha.
One reason this works so well is how accepting Andrew and Rob are of each others' ideas. It's a good thing to keep in mind, including for me when I was in a band.
This is so true. We keep being dismissive about stuff that might work out if we give it a chance in our band. And this is quite inspiring to watch.
The "Yes And" school of composing 😂
@@emilyrln
Was just gonna say exactly this
Am I the only one that is so sad that they weren’t able to recreate the sound at 42:33 and keep it in the song because it sounded so cool
And that shock on Andrews face, that was epic
I just can't stop listening to this part, it's so perfect, like it even change the tone perfectly
It went so hard! Glad they captured it at least
I love that moment when Andrew just explained the lyrics of the song in 15:50
"Are we still gonna be together?"
and Rob just replied:
"Yep. Every year. You gotta deal with it."
Such a wholesome moment
Ah, I didn't get that!
the best of buds
I love the corrupted footage, it makes Andrew look ten times as excited as he actually was
right that jittery excitement matches Halloween feel, like that was such a cool accident
I literally thought it was something on my end for a minute lmao
I thought it was done on purpose
@@yackerist there are file corrupting tools and then you could just try and repair the file you just purposely corrupted with a repair tool or what you could do is export your footage as a png sequence and just go through the frame by frame breakdown deleting chunks and like grabbing frames and moving them around would give you a pretty similar effect to the footage being corrupted then barely repaired but who got the time for that, you could go the extra mile and delete most the frames that aren't as action oriented like the ones where you're more calm like mouth is closed or eyes are closed and your face is resting and have mainly frames where your face is doing stuff, like your eyes are open and mouth is open and then the jumps would be even more jittery and action filled from all the missing slow bits would give you a creepy stop motion corrupted jittery effect
that would be a cool music video sort of filter XD
Is it just me or has Rob’s singing improved so much over the years
just you
I was thinking the same thing Braden
@@zackglickert4495 no he's definitely improved
@@ER04040 nah Im kidding
Practice makes perfect!
“I left my pants in Chicago” is the headbanger we didn’t know we needed. Hands down the catchiest song on the album.
Andrew: “Yes, Rob is singing the rest of the songs!”
Andrew: *immediately sings the whole album* lol
Honestly, I like the bigger emphasis on backstage banter in this video, it's fun to see how they come up with everything and the back and forth. Not just between Rob and Andrew, but the others as well
I'd like them to do a normal 45 min BTS on Rob's channel, and then a little while later, an 'editor's cut' longer BTS video on Rob's second channel. Like two hours or something.
42:31 bro accidentally played one of the coolest riffs I've ever heard
This video really highlights the fact that not only are they writing and recording an album in a day, they are also simultaneously filming a documentary about it, with all those technical challenges added on top. And Rob (the studio guy) is running audio for that on top of the album itself. Insane.
I love that Rob is a wrecking ball of energy and Engineer Rob is constantly trying make sure he is contained.
drug is hell of a drug
Producer Rob continues to be the MVP of First of October.
@@eyeofthebeholder_ he’s the George Martin of Foo.
i am the 666th person to like this comment. shit. was nice knowing you. mwuhahahahaha
Omg the "hold up... Pro tools just...." I felt that in my soul. Whenever you need it most... Pro tools always let's you know you can't trust it fully.
I felt it in my soul too. I was like, "every engineer ever." It isn't a true recording session if ProTools doesn't fuck with you at least once.
The title, _Chaos,_ is just perfect for the spirit of the project. Jumping from metal to holiday music to bluegrass to a sentimental ballad to a power anthem, all in the span of twelve hours... that really is the greatest kind of chaos.
Best bit is the corrupted video when it looks like Andrew looks like he's had too much coffee
We need a coverband named "First of November" existing only that day in a year and playing live shows with FOO songs
Yes except that band is also just Rob and Andrew covering their own songs
@@trailblazer225 naturally
@@trailblazer225 but they play eachothers parts
They have to do a world tour in one day.
Me and my friends are in a new band, and we're thinking about doing a first of November thing. @James Music @ethanslife
It's amazing how they've been a band for 4 days and they're better than most artists that are full time for years
OUCH.
well to be fair they are very experienced, if not professional with instruments. If you are referring to pop artists, well yeah their biggest skill is vocals. Not song writting or instruments.
because they are both full time artists that have been working for years
Rob Scallon's song "Halloween" is so diverse and heavy.
Andrew Huang's song "I love to say I love you" is so powerful and beautiful.
It's wrong they are some of the lowest listened to on spotify. They are my favorites.
You guys should make a 'tribute band' called November 2nd or something and do a live show on the date.
Rob: “I’ve got a car and a truck!”
Also Rob: “I want to go serious with this one.”
I remember when the first album came out, and I thought it was a goofy novelty that accidentally made some good songs. Now it’s one of my favorite things to look forward to in the year.
This is the first I’ve heard of them, but I just binged their other albums, annnddd now I have something to look forward to in October😄 (besides Halloween, of course)
At 41:41 when Rob says he doesn’t like “hang on”, I’m so glad that they kept it in, because it stuck with me so much that I was literally hearing it in my dreams after I first watched this
Andrew writing a heartfelt song about his daughter while Rob is screaming halloween over 7 string chugging perfectly sums up First of October
After recording 4 full time albums in just 4 days, I think It's only fair to expect a live show from this duo extravaganza.
Live album next year? Experimental improv?!?
They have to do a whole tour, but that only happens during the 1st of October 2023. Like, rehearse at 9AM, doing a show at 2PM, another one (at another venue) at 5PM, and yet another one (again in another venue) at 8PM.
I still like the 10 CD live improv album... like the opposite of a speed run. The venue should be some weird assed experimental music festival that coincidentally runs on the same date. Maybe use an alias for submitting a demo, so they won't be expecting the influx of attendees, so the festival organizers will have to keep adding port-a-potties as the ticket purchases add up.
@@Remy-A. That seems like it would involve a lot of speeding which probably wouldn't be good.
@@actualturtle2421 Phil Collins played London and Philadelphia on the same day. Used the Concorde to do it.
It's always a good day when First Of October drops a new album
YASSSSS!
Andrew telling the wholesome story about his kid saying "I love you mama"
CUT
Rob shredding his heart out on a Mandolin
hahahaha
Tamera's reaction ( 38:46 ) to Rob and Andrew making that quick harmony for Am I good enough is pretty much how I felt watching the vid
props to Rob Ruccia. having recorded in a studio before I know engineers go through a lot of stress trying to get everything working.
every first of october album has at least one midwest emo riff that's so good it gives me chills
What song are you talking about?
@@gearmachine_4885 i think “good enough” is the closest to midwest emo on this record
@@gearmachine_4885 playdeads inside is awesome riff
It’s so good I will unironicly listen to it
i keep repeating that feedback thing at 42:32. i can't imagine how hard it was to try and recreate that. what a powerful sound
this engineer is an angel for putting up with yall 🤣
Once again, the time has come for my favorite metal/punk/country/folk/acoustic/Midwest emo/Halloween fusion band
They need to do idm
They're both so talented, the recording engineer too. Wow!
I can't fathom how much time each of them spent in their own respective craft.
Man, props to whoever edited this video. Perfect pacing. I really felt like I was in that chaotic 12 hour session with them 😂 I would NOT want to be the one trying to shave 11 hours off of a 12 hour shoot.
Not to mention how many different angles- between the two moving cameras and the studio camera there would have been close to 36 hours of footage!and the documentary comes together so well, you feel like a part of the gang and you can feel the close friendship of everyone involved
@@schrodingersbraincell5861they technically have 48 hours of footage. Three moving cameras, and the one stationary in the corner.
Anyone else watching in anticipation of this year's album? ☝️🎃
This album drop is one of the highlights of each year. You did not disappoint.
When Rob does the solo at 29:56 I was like "Damn, this dude can play" and totally forgot whos channel I was watching.
what legends. they have been a band for 4 days and have already released 4 albums.
It seems this year Rob's the one making all the riffs and honestly they're so good.
Edit: They’re both riff lords
42:30 that feedback riff is so awesome, shame they didnt have more time to properly figure out the pedal
I was looking for this comment. For real, that riff was so good!
that riff was super radical
This is the only band that has existed 4 days with enough material to already have a greatest hits collection.
it’s not first of october if the day doesn’t end with andrew writing something emotional and heartfelt while rob is writing the weirdest thing possible.
you guys make this look so easy that I think people underestimate how extremely difficult this is and how many years of *work* it takes for this type of musical foundation. awesome.
The hard cuts from Andrew experimenting on the uke to Rob riffing the most heavily distorted guitar is hilarious.
Oh really is that a fact but I didn't laugh at all
@@Twoand86 kindly, shut all the way up

For anyone wondering why Greg is absent this year, this album is too spooky so he's hiding at home
I totally forgot about Greg, now I miss him ❤️
I hope they make up for it in 2023
@@FairyCRat two Greg tracks next year
They left Greg in Chicago, along with the pants.
Greg stepped on a bee, unfortunately
We now know that Rob helped build the Submarine pickup guitar and the classical guitar used here and I just love that fact.
this sound engineer is insane
This is literally the most expected thing to happen in 2022, and in fact, in every year
Which is why the entire universe felt off when they couldn't record in 2020
This has been the longest 26 days I have experienced. Also I love when one of them disappears for like 20 minutes and comes back like "I have a song"
it's nearly time
literally started binging these today before realizing what tmr is
Welcome to the first of October 2023 good folks
After 4 years, they have really figured out this process.
Also, some real (well-deserved) sass from Rob Rucio this year.
Corrupted Andrew was just practicing his Max Headroom costume for halloween
I almost forgot about him
Typing this as Album in a Day 2023 is being created (October 1st), while wearing my First of October shirt.
Here waiting for this year album
When you kick the thing off with high energy spooky metal, you know it's going to be a good album
Ruccia holding the mic stand trying to move it while Rob followed it was very funny
Also very good to see the annual tradition of Pro Tools being buggy came back this year. Thanks Avid.
Things pro tools is known for
1. Crashing
2.
Andrews voice being shot is something that can feel really feel like the end of the world while its happening its really just something that happens sometimes (in my experience). He stills sounds so good and its just out of pure passion
OK HEAR ME OUT! we recorded an album in 4 days (didnt get to record vocals thats another day) and that was so tight on time! we have a WHOLE new appreciation for this challenge after pushing out 16 hour days in a professional space
could just be because of the genre we play in and the fact that our guitarist/vocalist is a total virtuoso, but it only took us three 5-8 hour days to record our EP. the first day was really just dialing in and getting the studio fit for our liking, another day to track instruments, and the last day to track vocals and clean tracks up. nothing that crazy. i think being able to record an album quick is a testament of skill
@@malakai.2025 That's way more than 10 hours though, and it's just for an EP, and you actually had the songs written already. Andrew and Rob are crazy quick!
Rob's improv vocals (like at 27:40) are always one of my favorite parts of these albums. He has such a knack for them
Andrew: has a fried voice
Also Andrew: pulls out that high note at 28:22
he's an insanely good singer
Rob had his best vocal performance this year for sure, he sounds so good in the studio
Just imagine Glenn Fricker being the engineer instead of Rob Ruccia for this. I assume Glenn would have imploded at some point during the recording session ❤😂
Seems like he's much more chill in person, mostly a character
i cant imagine being around Glenn and no imploding myself tbh
Love how for one the songs while Andrew was writing delicate stuff, it cuts to Rob just ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATING THAT MANDOLIN
Andrew's mind when it comes to the lyrics writing is so impressive. What a quick wit.
Hearing andrew talk about his daughter, while expecting a baby boy in a few months fills me with emotions i wasnt expecting to feel on this channel today.
These guys are getting more and more ambitious with each new album. I think it's a sign that they need to collab on a more serious project with more time.
I absolutely love the chemistry between Rob and Andrew. I feel like thats what really makes First of October work every time.
The artificial harmonics from Rob in the song for Andrew's kid are 👌🏼
They really get better at this every year. This is the most musically ambitious album they've done so far.
Man, I've been working on a song for like two weeks and it's not even half as good as what you put together in twenty minutes! I love First of October. I'm already a huge fan of the Halloween season and this tradition just makes it that much better! 🤘
Well they have like 10+ years of experience from both of them and both have enough experience to pretty much pick up any instrument they want. Plus they have a really good producer so
I've worked on some songs for YEARS and I don't even publish anything :D
Constraints bread creativity man. Try writing a song in a day don't spend any more time on it
@@IlBiggo Same!
my favorite part is watching them write and make the songs and then listen to them for the first time like theyve never heard it lol
Tracking audio for both rooms and having multi camera feeds for 12 hours is on another level. Then having tech issues while still recording, going and grabbing another hd 4 k camera is what this industry is all about. I hope everyone on this team is getting paid well. These sessions are what art is. Down to the guy in post editing all that chaotic footage together. 12 hours of 4k is a butt ton of footage. Respect on all fronts.
Really enjoy Andrew starting to glitch reality around @19:50
My favourite event of the year.
The intercutting between Andrew writing a tender song on ukelele about his daughter, compared to the heavy 7-string metal with Rob singing 'It's Halloweeeeen' particularly made me laugh. You're for sure not lacking a diversity of sound in the band ahaha
Getting ready for this year!
Im appreciating the arch of Rob just becoming a more confident and stronger musician, these albums feel like a culmination of the skills he learned in the vids he's done in the year. Just the improvement in his voice work is amazing
An hour long first of October is just what I need right now
i love how FOO already has 6 or 7 halloween songs in its discography and then they bust out a halloween album
Looking back at their discography, I actually realized that their first album had no Halloween song, they started doing it with 31st of October on the 2nd album, then Trick or Treat, and this year they're just going overboard with it.
Yeah, now they have 31st of October, Trick of Treat, Spooky Time, Headless, Jangly Bones? And It’s Halloween
Just wanted to say your videos with Andrew have inspired me to practice music and songwriting again. It's like it reignited the spark in me. I kinda lost it along the way when I went to college for pre-med and life got just so hard. So thanks, Rob and Andrew.
The only band in the world that has a full discography of only quick rough demo tapes - as always, I loved every second of it! :D :D
This video feels like a morning where everything seems to be going wrong, you get up late, take a while to stuff, but still end up leaving for school/work early, it's brilliant, definitely my favourite album so far
I love how you can hear rob going crazy in the other room while andrew’s with the uke 💀💀💀
LOL THE COMMENT BOT IS CALLED RODSCALLON MUAHAHAHA
Can’t wait for the lastest installment
I can't believe how talented these people are
An hour long? We're lucky for 25 minutes last year! You guys inspire me to release an EP demo I'm working on lol
let us know then!
