Raging Mishap!

Mishap is a well known and well liked local rock band from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  Their shows are known to turn quickly into parties and their sound is appreciated by many across the state of Alabama.

Known equally as a live electric band and a tight, dynamic acoustic band they have been wowing audiences for sometime.  Make no mistake about it, when Mishap is on the flyer the joint's going to be packed.

While they earn their living from performing unique versions of hit cover songs, they do have a library of great originals.  Among them is the song, "My Life" which the band has graciously submitted for the "Rage Against the Wind" album.  This thanks to RATW promoter, Zack Sievering.  

According to RATW producer, Daniel L. Bamberg this is yet another strong portion of what should be an amazing compilation.

Third Time a Charm for Oktober's Raging 'Pale Rider' Ballad

Oktober is an unknown songwriter who has been writing lyrics, poetry, and other forms of verse for quite some time. A little over, a decade ago he wrote a song entitled “Came a Pale Rider” which was about another tornado that struck Alabama.
“I was working outside of an area hit by storms and passed by storm damage everyday for a while.
"I was in a band then. So when I got home I wrote two songs about my feelings about it,” explained the songwriter.
“Came a Pale Rider” comes the old saying “behold a pale horse” and Oktober expressed that his love for Clint Eastwood movies had a bit to do with that, as well as his own biblical awareness.
“I would rather not delve into the meaning of the song,” said Oktober. “The lyrics can be taken in many ways. So I would rather anyone who hears it to interpret it their own way.”
The song was originally written for a punk/metal band, Oktober was then fronting but was scratched when the band broke up.
He then lent his song to singer/songwriter Michael Ray Britt for an album project recorded in Nashville. Britt transformed the original version into an old style country/western song.
“When I heard Michael’s version I immediately fell in love with it,” explained Oktober. “Michael actually recorded 3 of my songs and ‘Came a Pale Rider’ was my favorite of those. When I decided to lend the song to Rage Against the Wind I envisioned it the way Michael recorded it.”
