Botch. There, I've said it straight away. Many bands have tried to imitate the mighty Botch, the vast majority have failed. Outclassed certainly bare comparison, but it would be very unfair to call them Botch imitators. Much of the technical wizardry and dark tone is similar, as are the thunderous riffs but Outclassed are if anything more varied - in this five song EP there is an acoustic section, as well as hints of Cave In, Boy Sets Fire and even Planes Mistaken for Stars.

The quiet bits are suitably delicate, but when the Outclassed let rip it is with a truly cacophonous noise. I would REALLY like to see this band play live!
