Screaming out of Surrey, OUTCRY COLLECTIVE are a four piece explosion of British heavy rock. With only one EP (2007’s critically acclaimed ‘Pay View Love’) under their belt to date, the band have already whipped up a storm in the rock world and beyond with strong press and radio (XFM, Zane Lowe, Radio One, Kerrang, Metal Hammer, Bruce Dickinson etc.) and nearly 200 infectious live shows in two years with Fucked Up, The Plight, This Is Hell, Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster, A Day To Remember and more.

With debut album ‘a r t i c l e s’, the band have upped the ante on every level, exploring their sound with elements of Hardcore, Metal, Rock and Pop. This is the sound of four lads who have put their blood sweat and tears into the band, living and breathing every last beat and note. In preparation for recording the album, the band personally gutted out and soundproofed a pig sty and rebuilt their own recording studio, practice/live room and vocal booth. They spent the next two months sharing a house next door to the studio, recording, mixing and producing the album entirely by themselves.

The freedom from studio and producer deadlines has allowed the band to work their own schedule and fulfill their potential as one of the most exciting underground rock acts in the UK. Expect slamming drums, urgent basslines, QOTSA meets RATM -esque riffage and vocals that make you want to rip your heart out and serve it up on a plate.

The title of the album describes how every song was treated separately, often using borrowed equipment from other bands (such as acoustic bass guitars or percussive instruments) to create various styles of original rock music - “We wanted to create an album of songs that would leave the listener feeling like they've been on a rollercoaster party” as vocalist Steve puts it.

Since the release they've played numerous festivals including Download Festival, Boardmasters in Newquay, Offset Festival, Brick Lane Takeover (London) and have completed tours with Blackhole, Warship, The Dead Formats, and are set to tour the UK again in November and December with Blakfish and Gay For Johnny Depp.
