I actually like October Project's second record as much as the first. I wouldn't right them off as one hit wonders in any event. They had 300,000 CDs sold on their second record but still got dropped by CBS. They took time off, briefly reformed with a different lead singer. Now, they have reformed with their original second lead singer, Marina Belica, singing lead. At the moment they are in the studio recording their third record. In the meantime, Marina's solo record hit the charts in a few of the stronger OP markets last Fall. Touring will start in a few more months. You can find OP's site on the web while Marina's is www.decembergirl.com
