No Outlet

Communism! Communism! Communism!

About Me

No Outlet is without a doubt a straight up ska band playing from every subgenre from more traditional, to two-tone, and even Ska punk. Playing all over the Texas scene with many big names including the Toasters, The Planet Smashers, Catch 22, The Know How, The Fad, Stuck Lucky, Ryan Scroggins and the Trench Town Texans, The Hi-Lites, A Billion Ernies, and many more.
They just released their second full length album, entitled "Rest In Peace" in tribute to Desmond Dekker and the fact that it is a good song. No Outlet recently went on a small southern tour, and (hopefully) impressed many people. Get ready to rock!
In the days of old, there was,
a legend of those who would one day
make the prophecies truth.
Just as the world was about to give up hope and
every child was crying.
fate finally shone bright.
From heaven above decended No Outlet.
Explosions happened (fireworks mostly) as the sun shone brightly.
Rearing Their 6 heads, No Outlet breathed fire into instruments.
Young and old could hear the flame tinged cacophony.
Dodging the hot sounds left and right, the people wished for ice.
As it was written it would be.
Holding Their place on stage No Outlet began Track Two of Their set!
Many died from internal bleeding.
Ending Their set, the survivors realized what they had heard was heaven.
Realizing this they praised Them and hooked Them up with a record deal.
