Based in Washington, D.C., Outerloop is a rising name in the sphere of post punk and rock music. Fronted by the vocalist Taisha Estrada, the band has cultivated a reputation for their high-octane live performances and enduring songwriting. With an EP, a critically acclaimed LP and numerous electrifying shows under their belt, Outerloop continues to win over audiences and their latest single, “huracán,” proves to be a thrilling addition to their sonic repertoire.
Outerloop’s journey into the musical landscape began with the release of their debut EP, EP01, at the start of last year, a record that earned critical acclaim for its raw energy and distinctive sound. The subsequent self-titled LP, unleashed in June 2022, confirmed the band’s position, earning them the coveted 2023 Wammie for ‘Best Hard Rock/Punk Song’ with the opening track, “Just Behave.”
The band’s infectious energy and captivating live presence extend beyond their local D.C. scene. Outerloop’s submission to NPR Music’s 2022 Tiny Desk Contest caught attention, leding to an in-studio interview on WAMU and a coveted spot on the Tiny Desk On the Road tour, sharing the stage with talents like Alisa Amador and Neffy.
Currently working on finishing an EP to be released in 2023, they now bring us the follow up to to last year’s album with the brand new single titled “huracán.” Launched with a 3-day string of shows in their local area, their new single serves up the latest chapter of their thrilling sonic adventure.
Immediately launching in to the song with the pound of drums and crunch of guitar layers over the pulse of bass, the song kicks off with an energising rock sound with subtle psychedelic undertones. With the first verse, Taisha’s commanding vocals bend from hushed, rapid rhythmic flows to bold soaring melodies delivered with power and conviction as the fuzz of guitar and patter of drums drive the arrangement below.
With their chorus, she spins compelling melodies and Spanish lyrics over the raucous energy of the instrumentation. It’s a storming slice of Latin rock music, packed full of uptempo energy, gritty guitars, punching drums and a sensational display of rock vocal panache that sees the band continue to operate at the very highest level and build further excitement for their upcoming EP release.
