The EP continues to receive rave reviews from a cast of critics across the country and theyve reached over seven thousand units sold without major distribution and promotion.

For two years, Outlett has been steadily building its buzz within the infamous Hollywood club circuit, developing its style and incendiary live performance before an ever-growing fan base. Blending tribal drum beats with driving guitar riffs and a resonant vocal style that parallels Gwen Stefani in dynamics, this committed quartet has created a sound that is consistently commercial yet distinctly diverse.
Outletts unique style is a direct result of the eclectic batch of inspiration that each musician brings to the songwriting table. With influences that range from Alice in Chains to Thrice, and from Incubus to Pantera, this band has assembled a musical mosaic of quality musicianship and pure passion. By channeling this raw emotion into explosive numbers like Walk Away and Whats It All For it creates a driving force of fury that hits its audience like a musical juggernaut.
But Outletts solid songs are only part of its overall allure. Fusing its high-octane material into a captivating live show, the band releases a powerful one-two punch that immediately engages every person in every venue. And its buzz has extended well beyond its local Hollywood hometown where theyve headlined such famous venues as the House of Blues Sunset, the El Rey Theatre, The Roxy Theatre & The Viper Room. The band has taken it on the road where theyve played hot gigs like Cal State Fresnos Vintage Days Festival where the band took home the Grand Prize at their annual Battle of the Bands, to The Arizona Music Festival in Tempe, AZ. Outlett was also selected out of thousands of bands through Sonicbids to rock the stage at the Connexion International Music Festival in Las Vegas, The M.E.A.N.Y Festival in New York City, The Live @ Paintball Festival in Huntington Beach, Live@ First Friday In Las Vegas and the Inkslingers Ball Worldwide Tattoo Tour. Not to mention a slot on the World Renowned Vans Warped Tour 2005 & 2006. By complementing these high profile shows with a steady stream of spins on hot stations like DMX Radio, Live365.com, Band Radio Live, The Indie Rock Show, Indiepodcasting.com, Alexa Radio, Hollywood Music TV, BUZZ Radio, Celtica Radio, iRADIO LA, 104.7 FM in Los Angeles, KCR in San Diego, KRZR in Fresno and so on, Outlett has already begun to infiltrate the greater Pacific Southwest and beyond.
And the band is primed and ready for the exciting ride ahead.
