REVIEW: The Outside - You Are The Alpha... Gracias Por Nada
Self-financed, 2005
Courtesy of My Rock Star Killed Yours, the PR firm headed by Mrs. Billy-Hazard Karin Graziadei herself, comes a very attractive promo package qualified as "100% Handmade by The Outside." Let's take 'em at their word, shall we? Alright then. This EP has 5 rockin' songs chock full of energy, emotion, and expression. It is immediately apparent that The Outside is fronted by a very able woman simply named Tree. Sonically speaking, on this recording the Smashing Pumpkins are invoked perhaps as much as Drill, Human Waste Project, and a non-electronic version of the Kidneythieves. My Ruin is thankfully not recalled, though a less drug-addled and more talented Hole or a more Rock-oriented Poe comes to mind. This is quite good stuff for those looking for some non-Pop Rock that really does rock and in fact offers something more than the disposable trash being forced down the public's collective throat as talent. The wall of sound guitars on "The Perfect Way I Lost You" produces a really memorable track and the multiple vocal tricks and styles are equally as nice. Track down this quartet soon and jump on the bandwagon now. The future appears to be bright for The Outside as I'm sure they're lookin' in -- sorry, I couldn't resist.
