SINGLE REVIEW: The Outcasts \u2013 Stay Young EP (Violated Records)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\nOne\nof the best punk bands to come out of Northern Ireland are back with\ntheir first single in 35 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it’s fair to say the latest incarnation of The Outcasts<\/strong>, who split in 1985 and reunited in 2011, have come up with a release which encapsulates all that’s good about the band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s available on US label Violated Records<\/strong><\/a> as a three-track 7in single on three different variants of coloured vinyl, or as a five-track CD EP, and a fine investment it is, if you can track one down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The A-side contains one new song and one cover. The new one is the title track Stay Young<\/strong>, written by guitarist Martin Cowan and bassist Petesy Burns, and it’s fair to say it’s classic Outcasts, all about growing old with your loved one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cover is The Pressure’s On<\/strong>, originally by fellow Belfast band Rudi<\/strong>, who were Good Vibrations<\/strong> labelmates back in the day, and they more than do it justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The B-side contains another original new song, Rebel Rock Radio<\/strong>, a slower number whose central guitar riff owes a lot to The Sweet’s Blockbuster or David Bowie’s Jean Genie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The CD EP contains two extra tracks, 78<\/strong> and You’re A Disease<\/strong>, the latter being a new recording of one of their very earliest songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news for long-time fans \u2013 or anyone who somehow hasn’t discovered The Outcasts until now, is that a compilation of all their original recordings is due out soon on Cherry Red Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n* Thanks to\nMartin Cowan for sorting my copy of this single to review.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
