About Me

Out the Garage is two Northern Ontario boys who were separated at birth. Brothers who drifted here and there with their songs and guitars but who finally reunited to put their creativities together.
Upon realizing their calling as trouvÃ¨res Marc and Alec set about mining their minds and fingers. They sought great songs and still seek great songs. Once they had perfected what they felt was a wicked set they set about looking for the missing pieces of their faction.
Several lineups have come and gone since then and more are sure to come but for now they feel they have in Mike and Pat the pieces to make the sounds that live in their head come to life.
Although they're not quite sure what to call what they do, they go with Northern Rock (no relation to Southern Rock) because it feels right and because they don't think they sound quite like anyone else.
A Taste of Out the Garage Live

Add to My Profile
Out the Garage feel the world could use another band that cares more about their music than their image and that's exactly what they bring you. So stop checking out how devilishly handsome they are and start listening.
Their debut will be available worldwide online shortly and is currently available locally in Calgary at both Sloth Records and Megatunes.
The first four songs of their debut are now posted above with the 5th song available for your listening pleasure at this link You My Today
