Minneapolis musicians from bands like Sinks, Neo Neos, Citric Dummies, Color TV, Green/Blue, Retainers, Dummy, The Soviettes, IV, and Awesome Snakes have teamed up for a record that’s been picked up by Feel It Records, the planet’s premiere purveyor of edgy garage and punk records. Talk about the perfect breeding ground for an amazing record! This is one of those instances where you don’t need to sample the music to know you’re going to love it.
Head to your local record store asap, grab the Outsider LP, and set that monster spinning on your turntable. From start to finish, this is garage pop punk excellence. Imagine throwing the Ramones, Hüsker Dü and Marked Men into a blender, tossing in some nails, bolts, and screws, and hitting the highest speed. The result? Fuzzy, catchy tunes with a raw, unpolished edge. It’s superficially moronic by design yet brilliantly constructed, reveling in its gritty, glorious chaos.
