The band was born at the initiative of brothers Nick Roberts (vocals / guitar) and William Roberts (bass), who, after a trip to Los Angeles to return home at the end of 2008, begin a search for talented musicians who share their ideals and great taste for rock music, this search ends with the complete formation of the band with Rory Bratby (drums) and Tim Ciantar (guitar).

October Rage was winner of the competition held by the Australian radio station Triple M Network to play along with Bon Jovi on their world tour while visiting Australia at the Sydney Football Stadium in December 2010.
