OCTOPUS MONTAGE STANDS AGAINST EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION WITH SEETHING NEW SINGLE “DON’T RUN YOUR MOUTH”!
Following on from the unapologetic “Voices”, the anthemic “Grow Up”, the candid “Right Here With Me”, the vicious “A Shortcut” and the dynamic “Dopamine”, dynamic pop-punk/metalcore quartet Octopus Montage now presents yet another notable single – the seething “Don’t Run Your Mouth”. Proving the formation’s undeniable ability to fully explore and utilize the wide spectrum of the genre specifics that the pop-punk style is often associated with, this single offers a proof for Octopus Montage’s ability to showcase sincere and honest emotions, thoughts and well-crafted music compositions through a variety of different music elements, not showing tendency to constantly exploiting the same methods for expression over and over. The phrase “stick it to the man” is often used to describe the group’s attitude when it comes to what they write about and “Don’t Run Your Mouth” is another example of this and continues to prove that Octopus Montage will not hold back on speaking opinions on subjects in which the members of the formation feel passionate about.
