Artist History OUTLIER – BIOGRAPHY Outlier have been together for about 3-4 years now. They are a 3 piece pop-punk band, and the line up features James Parrino (16 yrs old) on Lead Guitar & Vocals, Michael Dawson (17 yrs old) on Bass Guitar, and Nic Puertolas (17 yrs old) on drums. They have performed many live at events such as their school’s open day, music camp, graduation day and battle of the bands, as well as playing at Mowbray Primary School, and Chatswood High’s School Dance. They’ve also performed live at parties, and are booked for a performance with Boy Meets Ground and Silencer 7. More recently Outlier have started to write and record original material. James went to a studio to record an original song called “By My Side”. This song has proved to be extremely popular when the band performs it live, with its simple pop-rock sound, and catchy vocal melodies. The song has been recieving regular airplay on 88.9 FM’s “The Program Radio” and Outlier is now a featured artist on their website http://www.theprogramradio.cjb.net/ The recording was also featured on 2day FMs Hot 30 with Kyle and Jackie’O as part of their Teen Star contest, it made it through to the finals of this contest, and was one of the top 20 songs out of thousands of entrants. After the success of this song, the band has focused on writing more original songs, the style is more of a pop-punk sound than the radio friendly By My Side. But still featuring the catchy hooks and melodies which have become a trademark of the Outlier sound. The band’s live set is now a mix of original songs and covers by their influences like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blink 182, Silverchair, 28 Days and Unwritten Law. Packed full of pop-punk tunes and a high energy stage show, Outlier love to have fun and rock out, keep an eye on these boys in the future.
