The Outcast Band release their long awaited – 15 years in fact – CD 'The Longest Mile' on November 1st.

Work started in 1995, a different century. Then somehow life got in the way. A few of the band needed regular pay and it all went on hold.....then the tapes got lost.

It wasn’t until those tapes resurfaced dustier, unmarked and intact earlier last year that the band regrouped and decided if something was worth doing it was worth doing well. They listened, they rewrote, they added, they finished. What was good then provided a starting point but new songs, new attitude and great playing made for new and fresh music, a sound very much of today

You can win one of 3 copies of this CD. Just email your name and address This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Competition closes 1st November 2010.
