sharing a name with the american band that gave us the garage pop anthem "time won't let me", the OUTSIDERS are an under appreciated garage psych band from Amsterdam. they released their epic swan song lp, CQ, to little fanfare in '68, but since then they've joined the monks as one of those garage bands you just need to know and love.
a little bit freakbeat (or nederbeat--dutch garage pop), some psych and a little proto punk via the velvet underground, the OUTSIDERS are fantastically addicting. file them right next to love, the pretty things and the seeds in the garage section of yr record collection. not everyone who bought a rolling stones lp in the early sixties started a great band, but these guys certainly did.....
if you can't find the reissue lp, grab CQ here. and watch below......
