Emerging out of the quiet, peaceful state of Maine in 2002, OUTBREAK has proven to be anything but the generalizations made about the state in which they began. Playing stripped down hardcore/punk in its purest form, OUTBREAK has developed a global following through international touring, landing on five of seven continents to date. Among the headlining tours, the band has given themselves no limitations, supporting old-school hardcore bands like AGNOSTIC FRONT, modern hardcore bands like COMEBACK KID, metalcore bands like MISERY SIGNALS, and even appearances at mainstream festivals with the likes of RISE AGAINST and TAKING BACK SUNDAY. But it certainly hasn't been an easy ride; vans have been crashed, financial disasters have come full swing, and members have come and gone through it all. In 2009, it's a surprise in itself that OUTBREAK still exists.
