The Outsiders
About The Outsiders from Wellington
Outsiders released their debut EP at their
first show in July 2008. In the three years since the band has grown
dramatically in cramped tour vans and on stages around the world. Following a
belief that location will not hold them back the band have toured the US, Europe, The UK,
Australia and New Zealand
constantly. The Outsiders have supported acts such as Nofx, Megadeth, Alkaline
Trio, Against Me, Strike Anywhere, Lagwagon, Propagandhi, Dead to me, Off With
Their Heads, The Flatliners and many more. The band has played everything from
squats in East Germany to major music festivals such as The Fest 9 in the USA
and No Sleep Till, as well as being featured in AMP Magazine, Punknews.org and
on Blank TV amongst others.
The Words Will Write Themselves full length
album was released in 2010 and heavy touring followed of New Zealand, Australia
and the United States. This touring cycle bought the band to the attention of
Anchorless Records in Brooklyn New York who will release a full length from the
band worldwide on October 11th 2011. Underground Communique, Chicago
will release a collection of the bands early works in late 2011.
SHALLOW GRAVES
The new record Shallow Graves showcases a
more focused and progressive approach to a sound created through a love of Punk
and Rock with heart. Bands such as Jawbreaker, The Replacements and early
Against Me have helped influence the punk rock on display while the songs
within are those of a reflective band who have grown but refuse to stop chasing
what is just over the horizon. Experiences such as screaming their lungs out at
house shows on the Canadian border, getting lost in the countryside in Belgium have
continued to stoke the fire of the band and Shallow Graves is the result. Outsiders will head to the United States for a
two month tour including appearances at The Fest 10 in Florida, Red Octoberfest
in Chicago, and supporting shows with Cobra Skulls (Fatwreck
Chords), Nothington (Red Scare) and many more.

Stars and Gutters can be heard here:
