Outspoken

"Amalgamated from the pop-punk movement that brought majestic bands to the music scene united four ubiquitous musicians who have been creating unassailable music for over seven years.

Members Anthony Mascarin, vocals/ guitar, Alex Mascarin, drums/ percussion, Fabrisio Chiatto, bass and Justin Bonfini, guitar/vocals have it all; the strength, the artfully shrewdness and clever means to achieve their main goal of turning their dreams into reality. Not just making music a past time but making it a career.

Outspoken corroborate that they maintain a fervently independent status with themselves as they believe that if they did not then they would loose hold of the art and the craft of their music.

Voluminous amounts of bands give up on their dreams and fall short of motivation and perseverance to keep them pushing against all the obstacles that come crashing down on them while striving to make it in the music industry like money, failure and ego. Outspoken are familiar with these challenges but have managed to get past them as not only stronger musicians and individuals but as businessmen. They maintain a strong work ethic that only gets better with each passing day. Proving even the minnows out number the sharks a million to one.

The guys of Outspoken saw through the gimmick that the industry try to sell to young, upcoming bands. Showing that today one must get rid of the norm and create their very own, which is exactly what Outspoken are doing; making it all happen for themselves. On a twenty four/seven basis Outspoken promotes their band not only leaving a mark on music for their band and themselves as individual musicians while being a self-managed band who book their own shows and tours.

These guys have accomplished a great deal while doing everything themselves; no management, just four determined musicians. They have been featured in two international and domestic magazines Canada’s Faze Magazine and Germany’s Outspoken Magazine, along with being on three international domestic CD compilations {HIV Yellow Head Comp, Pop-Punk Comp, and CBC/Tea Volume Comp.} They have created their very own company Outspoken Entertainment proving that you are nothing without a good business prospective.

Outspoken has also managed to get their latest CD Hear We Go… released in HMV record stores across the country. But that is not all, they have also put together a show themselves where they played with whom they call rock stars , The Ataris and are having, what is said to be an amazing show with GOB this month. Their next goals is to be apart of the Vans Warped Tour line up in the near future, which seams more then possible.

This pop-punk band with a twist of alternative indie-rock are one of those independent bands that help fans fall back in love with music as they stay in tuned with themselves and their dreams without selling out. They stand out above all other bands in the scene today, not just for their musicianship, talent and dedication, but their business aspect/grasp of the industry as they chase their dreams that in my opinion, has already been seized."
