Something Urgent

Formed in 2002 The Outside was born from an ad the bass player Will, ran in the Village Voice seeking out “creative musicians”. Will, Damien (drums) and Ben (guitar) gathered and instantly started sculpting the sound and style that would later become The Outside. Soon after, the missing link, Tree (vocals) auditioned...but was not taken. “Bottom line is, we weren’t ready for her. We had just formed and needed time to mature and grow musically”. Almost a year later, Tree came back. It was obvious that they had found their voice.

Since then The Outside have continued on their relentless charge to break through the walls of the alternative rock/post-hardcore genre. Their 2004 release “You Are The Alpha...Gracias Por Nada” gained them numerous festival appearances and critical acclaim. Billboard and Taxi selecting the group as 1 of 6 fInalists from over 1,000 to perform in the fInal NE show of the Discmakers Independent Music World Series was a high point. As was being a critic’s pick for Cincinnati’s Midpoint Music Festival.

Their newly released, self produced disc “Something Urgent” (released 12.02.06) brilliantly captures the bands ability to write relevant songs that soundtrack life while never sacrifIcing their live energy for studio sound. Donning references to early Pumpkins and Sonic Youth, the disc is another statement in the band’s manifesto to create unique and provocative material that catapults the listener into a live show full of emotion and not easily forgotten.
