Another old release finally gets a decent reissue. Is that really so hard, every old band I like?!!!
It's just digital, but I already have the vinyl and cassette, so nannynannybooboo to you. I actually just ripped the cassette recently, but this sounds a lot better. Now we just need the Drunk Injuns and Skatemaster Tate (rip) to get on the Beware Records reissue bandwagon. A very slow wagon indeed.
So Odd Man Out was Steve Caballero's band after The Faction dissolved. With him on guitar, they played a kind of dark, gothy, post punk style. I've never really heard the Mission UK, but apparently they were an influence. And maybe since their songs were featured in a Powell video and Savannah Slamma (with possibly the best contest run ever by Jeff Grosso, also rip), it's hard not to hear some old skate rock influences still coming through.
This definitely isn't a band you would automatically like if you liked The Faction, but I always thought they were really unique, and seemed to fit in with the gloomier direction of other old bands that stuck around, like TSOL, Agent Orange, 7 Seconds, etc.
You can find this reissue on sites like Amazon, iTunes, Deezer, Spotify, etc.
