The Outcasts

The Outcasts are a seminal punk rock band hailing from Belfast, Northern Ireland, that found its genesis in the midst of the vibrant and tumultuous punk scene of the late 1970s. Characterized by their raw energy and defiant attitude, the group quickly became a staple in the burgeoning subculture. The band initially rose to prominence with their unapologetic sound and politically charged lyrics which resonated with the disenfranchised youth of the era. Over the years, they maintained a cult following despite the usual industry ebb and flow and shifts in musical trends.

Their compilation album "1978-85" is a comprehensive chronicle of their most influential period, capturing the essence of the band's early days and charting their evolution through the heyday of punk. With their more recent releases, such as "Stay Young," "Let's Go Back," and "Descension," The Outcasts have showcased their ability to stay true to their roots while also exploring new sonic territories, expanding on their classic sound with a mature perspective. Their live album "Vive Lyon! (Live at The West-Side Club, Lyon)" is a testament to The Outcasts' enduring appeal and their electrifying presence on stage, captivates audiences new and old with the same fervor as in their early days. With every chord and chorus, The Outcasts continue to embody the spirit of rebellion and the heart of punk music.
