MAY 15, 2002 :: REVIEW - Great Songs, Classic Sound From OUTERSTAR by Jim Trageser One of the best pop albums of 2001 didn't show up on many - if any - "Best of" lists. This, despite as accessible an album since Oasis was tearing up the charts, despite more than a half-dozen songs that easily could have been Top 10 hits, despite some of the most unforgettable songs on a pop album in years. » read more FEB 25, 2002 :: OUTERSTAR Release 2nd Single! While the song “You Love It When It Rains” is continuing to climb the charts (debuted on the Gavin Top 40 Radio chart at #163. Last week #66) a second song was released to Rock & Alternative stations. That song is “Round Down In My Head”, and it too is winning-over radio stations and fans Nationwide!

And it’s represented by practitioners like Outerstar, an L.A.-based duo with Brit roots who hope to conquer the world with lush, emphatically beat-based music that relies on sharp melodies and existential poetry to get over. Pegged by their recently debuted label Jaggo (actually Capitol in indie clothing) as a logical extension of Brit-pop heroes like the Verve’s Richard Ashcroft and Oasis’ Noel Gallagher, Outerstar are really less rawk than that, but the comparisons aren’t completely off the mark. » read more JAN 10, 2002 :: REVIEW - MusicMatch.com Independent music sucks. Since a lot of my favorite bands aren't on major labels it feels a little hurtful to say it. And, it's not so much that those artists suck, it's just that there is so much indie music out there, that the spectrum becomes vast, and it's inevitable that a huge chuck of it is going to, well, blow chunks. Putting out a record has become so easy that the threshold for doing so no longer has talent as part of the equation. So, the top indie bands -- your and my favorites -- may still be great, but the bottom keeps getting lower and lower, bringing the whole incongruous mass down. » read more DEC 6, 2001 :: 'Songwriter's Monthly' Review OUTERSTAR Debut...
