At the beginning of 1977 in Belfast, three brothers and their buddy simply formed a band. They wanted to play live and were rejected by five clubs in Belfast within a week because of their appearance. They quickly came up with the band name The Outcasts. And within months they were one of the hottest bands on the burgeoning Belfast punk scene. At that time, they played almost exclusively cover songs by The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned and The Ramones.
Their concerts usually ended in some kind of disaster, and the local press dubbed The Outcasts 'The band you love to hate' due to their bad boy image.
After three studio albums, various singles and EPs (some of them released on the legendary Good Vibrations record label), radio airplay in England, a song in the charts, sessions for the famous BBC presenter John Peel and constant touring in the UK and Europe, guitarist Getty died, and a short time later, in 1985, the band broke up. Many years later, in 2011, the Rebellion Festival in England revived The Outcasts and offered the band a gig at the legendary festival.
Without original drummer Colin, a new chapter in the Outcasts' history begins. Two brothers remain in the line up. Since then, several compilations and live albums of the band have been re-released and The Outcasts start touring excessively in Europe and the world again. In 2019 a brand new 4 song EP was released on the US record label Violator Records.
A band that still wants to and can. Legendary and fantastic at their live concerts, a real punk unit that has by no means reached its zenith even after more than 40 years of band history. The band's line-up consists of the two originals Greg Cowan on bass and vocals and Martin Cowan on guitar, guitarist Buck Defect and drummer JP 'Dear Boy Moonie' are the newcomers.
