The Outcast Band bring a live performance like no other. The influences from folk, punk and rock are apparent but they have created a distinctive sound which has earned them a reputation for giving what many have described as the best live music experience of their lives.
With echoes of The Waterboys, New Model Army and The Levellers, the band produce a huge sound firmly based in rock and complemented by violin, mandolin and accordion. With songs such as Hurricane Day and The Garden Song the band hold nothing back, giving the audience a performance packed full of raw emotion.
