Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "The Outcast Band" in English language version.
The Outcast Band were one of the biggest bands in Reading in the early 90s. They sold out such legendary venues as the RBH Club and the Granby.
While the frenetic thrash of the majority of the songs here immediately catches the listener's ear there are several ballads such as To Be Someone and Wreckage that are muscular and ultimately more rewarding than the initial raggle taggle buzz engendered by the showstoppers. An album to be listened to with the seatbelt strapped on.
OUTCAST BAND The Longest Mile (Thirsty Dog)ACK in July 1996 the Brit folk rockers went into the studio, exhausted after a 52-date tour, and began recording a new album. Midway, they broke for a fortnight's holiday and never got back together again until now. The wait was worthwhile - this is an excellent set driven by rock guitar and folk fiddle. Not as folky as Bellowhead, not as rocky as the Dave Matthews Band, The Longest Mile strides between. Best served fast and furious, the title track and Hurricane Day are irresistible. PC
Since reforming as a five-piece in 2008, the Outcast Band has taken the local and national gig scene by storm with high-energy performances bringing crowds to a floor-stomping climax throughout Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, the Home Counties and London.
Number two in the Amazon folk chart preorders so there's a market for this fast and furious country folk with a hefty injection of punk and a great vocalist in Damien Kay. Dance to this and you won't be able to walk for a week. It's not often you hear so much from violins and mandolins. No doubt the Gloucestershire band will be a joy live and are already firm festival favourites.

Based in Stroud, The Outcast Band are festival veterans, and have headlined the Fringe before. In 2010, their show brought one of the biggest Friday night crowds we have ever seen, and we are delighted they are bringing their fast-paced, foot-stomping folk-punk-rock back to the Bank Gardens on the Saturday of this year's Fringe.
