BBC REVIEW OF THE OUTBREAKS AT THE SHED OBS 2007
A short but sweet review, BBC had the following to say after our performance at The Shed on Friday night: "Third up were indie rockers The Outbreaks who flew through a very lively stash of self penned nuggets, well worth a watch."

ABOUT THE OUTBREAKS
The Outbreaks are a rock band with old fashioned musical values, yet contemporary musical idealogies. Riffs, solos and songs about life, love and everything between dominate the thumping live sets, all driven along with some of the best bass hooks you'll hear for a long long time.
Taking in influences from The Beatles to Stereophonics, stopping off at David Bowie, AC/DC, Talking Heads and Guns 'n' Roses on the way, The Outbreaks music is a melting pot of styles and genres that are all chewed up and spat out with a clear and focused originality, and a sound which tells you that The Outbreaks know exactly who they are and where they want to be. The Outbreaks know what they want from their music, but they are still humble enough to give a knowing nod in the direction of their own musical heroes.
The Outbreaks have been working hard in 2007, with several live shows already under their belts, and many more lined up over the coming months. They are slowly but surely building a group of loyal fans, who are all climbing on board the rock juggernaut being driven by The Outbreaks.
Come and see the band live to get a true reflection of what they are all about, you definitely won't be disappointed.
