DEFAULT OUTFIT is a straight ahead, take only the clothes on your back, unpredictable journey for the masses. Just before committing to the sound of a windows-down road trip, it abruptly shifts towards the ethereal feel of a lonely midnight ride, making sure to make the necessary stops along the way. The pristine acoustics lead the navigation through the pop landscape, buoyed up by waves of gritty distortion. The barrage of beats pushing each track forward encourages the efforts with playful determination. Riding freely upon the sound are the vocals of a desperate passenger, hoping to reach land, but seemingly afraid to get off.
Do you play live?
We play throughout the Northeast. Venues we play in our hometown of Boston include Middle East, House of Blues, TT the Bear's Place and Bill's Bar. There's nothing like being on stage...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Absolutely...
Band History:
With the dramatic ambitions of Grace-period Jeff Buckley, and the presence of a more haunted DMB, DEFAULT OUTFIT played its first chords for a live audience on Halloween 2001. Over the next twelve months, their commitment to thrilling, layered shows vaulted them to the venerable Boston-area stages of Harper's Ferry, House of Blues and Paradise-Front Room, among others. In November 2002, the band released its debut album, Casual City, to a sold-out Bill's Bar on Boston's famed Lansdowne Street, repeating the feat six weeks later to a sold-out Middle East Upstairs. On January 2, 2003, Boston's largest circulation newspaper, The Boston Metro, featured DEFAULT OUTFIT and their wildly successful debut. Casual City has been heard on radio stations across the Northeast, most notably WBCN 104.1, and the album enjoys a swelling critical buzz.
