Have you ever heard about an italian band? Have you ever seen it live on stage? Based near Milan, OUTSIDER don' t use any mandolins as you may guess and are ready to kick-ass! Their name represents not only the sense of diversity towards the italian musical scene but also the not conventional philosophy to watch beyond their own borders, worldwide.
The band knows how to catch the listener's attention and how to stupefy it's audience, it expresses a strong, modern and powerful, kind of rock at times melancholic like a foggy day, a second later compact and squared like a truck that growls at full speed. Live shows are the dimension that suited most these musicians. The voice, cornerstone of the band, moves like glue between the songs: powerful and punctual at times delicate the other time devasting, it always succeeds to communicate atmospheres clearly and every song's meaning. The musical parts are characterized by powerful riff and emotional suspensions, music dances together with the vocal line creating musical alternations and counterpoints that succeed in the attempt to involve the listener emotionally.
Waiting Inside - Album
Waiting Inside - LP released on December, the 1st 2005 through Venus distribution
A long gesture has been necessary for debut album "Waiting inside". The most important song for this concept album is Meant to fly, yet present in self-produced EP "Outsider". The foetus painted by one of most known Italian contemporary artists Matteo Arfanotti for album cover ( he also idealized and realized the entire artwork for the booklet ) represents the visual expression of the band's will to stand out in the musical scene. In this painting there's an incredible strength, representing the creative and explosive energy of the band. In the songs we can find the foetus' dreams, it's expectations, but also it's disillusion and rage towards the world it is going to face like an Outsider. The album seems to be more a concept than a simple group of songs; the lyrics really do support this interpretation: "Embrace the newborn watch him growing in your arms call his name and wake him up"( Sacrifice ) - "All my life is here closed in my own fear cause I'm leaving the world outside but I know you'll make me shine tonight" ( Waiting inside )".

It's otherwise impossible to describe, using barely words, the great impact of this singular band, very reserved, that loves to make their own music talk for themselves. Stop reading, "PRESS PLAY ON TAPE", close your eyes and fly.
