About Me


Tom Morello (MTV News):
Outernational uncompromisingly tells the truth, and they paint a picture of the world the way they see it and a way that we don't hear on the radio and television as much as people need to. They're very political, but super exciting.
Tom Morello (Esquire Magazine):
A world-music Rage Against The Machine. There are plenty of political bands you wouldn't want to listen to for fun. This isn't one. Musically, you can hear Third World inflections, but it's rock at heart.
BBC Radio:
These boys are the next big thing... They are an incredible mix of hip-hop, hard-rock, and world music. They mix politics and dance music in the best way, much like The Clash did.
The Village Voice:
Coupled with dynamic rhythms that somehow flow together like streams of water, their ripped-from-the-headlines lyrics of liberation struggle had the audience literally—at least in the case of one wild fan in a Mexican wrestling mask—hanging from the rafters.
The Brooklyn RAIL:
The band I had never heard of before was the night’s biggest revelation. Stirring together hip-hop, punk, reggae, ska, afrobeat, and bhangra... They’re not as obvious about their Clash-ness as, say, Rancid, but Outernational’s twin-vocal attack, mashed-up rhythms, and good old-fashioned musicianship all strongly evoke Strummer and Co.
