The Outers

The Outers are a four-piece hailing from London. They’re made up of Ade (Vocals), Phil (Guitar), Luca (Drums), Clare (Bass), and Avery (Guitar). They have been making a name for themselves in South East London playing to packed audiences at the iconic Amersham Arms in New Cross.

Let’s see what they have been up to:

Strings

Lo-fi indie licks that nestle between Sea Power’s moonlight meanders, and Thirteen Senses romanticism form a poetic backdrop for Ade’s Skin meets Lily Rae (Fightmilk) vocal.

Tinges of Eurythmics via Bloc Party emerge in the middle eight before a sumptuous solo blows the cobwebs away.

First Sight

Ade’s vocal delivery is blessed with great drama here. Toying with emotion, tone, and shades of light and dark on a career-best vocal. Meanwhile, Phil and Avery’s searching math rock licks stray into the realm of Foals’ classic ‘Spanish Sahara’ album before the power of Desperate Journalist filters into the joyous climax.

485c

485c are signed to the legendary Fierce Panda label and its not hard to see why:

Kapow

If 'Kapow' were to create a guitar sound venn diagram, it would have The Strokes one side, Dutch Uncles the other. The immediacy and power of the New Yorkers is channeled through the Stockport art rocker pioneers. As so many peers are cutting loose, 485c have taken a really interested side route to glory here.

Better The Man

An infectious indie guitar gem which illuminates the darkest of moods. Move over Belle & Sebastien, infectious indie rock has a new king.

Strange Medicine

When all the great mid 00s bands went off to record new material or on to side projects, the mainstream vultures swooned in Scouting for Girls and The Hooisers and killed the scene stone dead.

Strange Medicine is the perfect tonic to that injustice. It resets the clock to The Strokes’ ‘Is This It’ and has lovable rawness to it like The Cribs classic ‘Martell’. Guitars are pop, pop are guitars!
