  Taken directly from their bio info: Outsiders Joy - that's 100% punk rock from Cologne, Germany, with mostly fast and always diversified melodies and lyrics with a message; now for more than 12 years! In the first three years after the band was founded in 1996, they tried a variety of different constellations of male and female singers or a second guitar before concentrating on the typical rock'n'roll line-up - guitar, bass guitar, drums and three vocals, playing as a trio since 1999. The last change of personnel was in 2005 on drums, when the band evolved musically even more. After numerous demo tapes, they recorded their first studio album "Grosse graue Männer" ("Big gray men") in 1999 and marketed it all by themselves, without a label. After that, NC-Music and Nix Gut Records jumped in, took the CD on their mail order lists and has been selling them since then. In addition to the debut album, four more songs were published on the samplers "Chaos, Bier und Anarchie 3 + 4" ("Chaos, Beer and Anarchy 3 + 4") and "Deutschpunk Gewitter 3" (German Punk Lightning 3"). With the new album "Sonnenbankgebräunter Anabolikamutant" (Sunbed-tanned Anabolic Mutant"), now finally published on their favorite label Hulk Räckorz, the three guys from Germany's most beautiful city prove to have a lot to say and to have developed into a serious punk rock formation. When performing live, the Cologne trio lives up to their full potential, taking a clear anti-right position, always proving humor when interacting with the audience, re-inventing themselves on stage every time anew with cover versions of bad and even worse songs, and having, above all, a lot of fun. -Mikki 7/09 More at: |
