Band Members: Outnumbered by Idiots have been specializing in guitar rock delicacies since 2004. Their second demo cd (“Outnumbered By Idiots”) made the reviewer of Belgium’s leading music mag RIFRAF write overt nonsense like this:

"Met 5 goed uitgewerkte en doordachte songs die schipperen tussen Quicksand en Foo Fighters, weet het powertrio Outnumbered By Idiots onze trommelvliezen te plezieren. De heren incorporeren veel verschillende invloeden maar weten toch een coherent geheel te presenteren dat ze zelf, terecht, "rock deluxe" noemen. Deze band is een heuse ontdekking!” (dg) RIFRAF, februari 2007

In February 2007 Outnumbered by Idiots convincingly won Studio Brussels’ Demopoll with their song "Crop Circle".

During the past few years OBI have been gigging all over the place: on festivals, in clubs, pubs and finals of several rock rallys. Not to mention some acoustic shows, like the live session on Radio Scorpio (Leuven).

“SONGS FOR PIGEONS” is Outnumbered by Idiots' piece de résistance, containing sweet in your face power rock songs. The new and even more purified indie rock songs are sounding better than ever. Especially since Steven (vocals and guitars) and Tonny (drums and backing vocals), have teamed up with new, young and horny forces: a rhythm guitarist called Tom, and some dude playing the bass guitar going by the name of Aco. Don’t miss out!

Some quotes from recent reviews:

"Outnumbered By Idiots blijft heel interessante en catchy rock maken. (...) Jeugdhuizen en organisatoren in heel België die degelijke rockbands zoeken, mogen Outnumbered By Idiots zeker eens contacteren." (dg, RIFRAF May 2008))

"Songs for pigeons' is zo'n plaatje dat mij eraan herinnert hoe prachtig indierock wel kan zijn." (DeadAngel, RMP.be APril 2008)
