Outcry

Outcry 12" EP (Positive Force)

Another Shot for Braken comp (Positive Force)

Buffalo EP (Red Decibel)

Outcry were hands down the best straight edge band to come out of Minnesota.  It’s too bad that the recordings that would document their career would be only 12 songs.  They released one 7  song EP on Positive Force (7 Seconds’ label), one track on a compilation LP from the same sessions and for the same label, and about 10 years after they broke up, a 4 song 7" EP.  That’s it, and that is a shame.

I saw Outcry play several times in their short existence.  Most notably was opening for 7 Seconds at McCready’s pub in downtown Minneapolis.  It was that show that set them up for the Positive Force releases.  All of this stuff is just about impossible to find these days (but I think I still have a few sealed copied of the 12" EP in my basement somewhere) so grab it now while you can!

Here’s a good blog read about the 12" EP.

   I just wanted to thank you for posting this. When I typed Outcry Minnesota into the ‘ol search engine I didn’t realy expect any luck. I miss hearing this, but not anymore.Hey by the way do you remember a band called Deformed Youth who played (I think) with The Libido Boyz, Misery, and Blind Approach at 7th Street around 1988? I had their tape, sure would like to here that one again.

   Is this the band with the lead singer Karl Young?
   They came up north a lot and made the rounds from Coleraine to Bemidji. They were an awesome band and I still have my poster they all signed. 1980’s were good years.
