Denver, Colorado’s The Outfit offers an earnest take on garage rock revival, championing straightforward, back-to-basics pop songwriting with unapologetic sincerity. Their guitars chime and hum with undiscerning admiration toward both new and old schools of rock, as clever melodies and energetic rhythm section propel the songs with a youthful excitement.
“Johnston’s vocals start to recall Mark Lanegan (from ‘90s Seattle band Screaming Trees) and Kings of Leon’s Caleb Followill – low, smoother, mostly confident in the lyrics. Meanwhile, Banker {former guitarist} flails overtop with his signature Buzzcocks-featuring-J-Mascis guitar and King and Powers build, destroy and rebuild the foundation.” – Denver Thread
