Bio
THE OUTDOOR TYPES debut Single ‘Jangler Swifteye / I am a Steeplejack’ was released by the Hand Of Glory Label on 7” vinyl only in October 2007.
"Like being chased by a victorian axe murderer" - Rough Trade
"One part folk with a dash of stadium rock" - Norman Records
The album ‘All Aboard that’s Coming Aboard’ was released on I Blame the Parents Records in 2010. The One Legged Elvis / Drinking Ballad EP followed this in November 2010. And recieved some fine reviews..
The spirits of Bragg and Strummer are on full display, fused into a nifty foot-stompin’ re-invention.

A moving, grooving good time, as much fun as I’ve had with a record in a long time.

The second full length album ‘It is the Mercy’ was released on June 13th 2011 by I Blame The Parents Records.
"They definitely blend some worthy styles with even light mariachi and flamenco touches here and there. They've certainly got a homely "local-band" touch but sound incredibly proficient with an endearing quirky edge"
- Norman Records
The Band have just issued a free EP - 'Lost Illuminations From The Last Manned Outpost'... available from theoutdoortypes.co.uk
