THE OUTSIDERSPioneering U.K. punk band who were early adopters of the D.I.Y. philosophy;
founder Adrian Borland later formed the Sound. The Outsiders were one of the
first bands on the British punk scene to commit their sounds to vinyl.
Boasting an edgy but decisively rocking sound that was influenced by the Stooges,
the Velvet Underground, and the Doors, the Outsiders predated many of the bands
that codified the U.K. punk sound, which was a blessing and a curse; while their
music had a personality that set them apart from the many bands that would
follow them, they soon found they didn't sound "punk" enough for fans who
jumped on the bandwagon in the wake of the Sex Pistols and the Clash.
The Outsiders were formed by guitarist and lead singer Adrian Borland,
who was attending school in 1975

The Outsiders decided to move up to a professional recording studio for their next LP,
Close Up, which they once again released through Raw Edge in March 1979, but between
a failed deal with another label to issue the single "Vital Hours" and Borland's
growing dissatisfaction with the increasingly monochromatic U.K. punk scene,
the group wasn't destined to last much longer. Six months after the release of
Close Up, the Outsiders were history, and Borland had assembled the first
lineup of his more ambitious post-punk group, the Sound.
The Sound would go on to release five albums and become critical favorites
without landing a breakthrough hit before their 1987 ...(AllMusic)
