The Outlets

THE OUTLETS have been one of the most prolific and exciting live bands in the Northeast since the early 80's. There have been several linup changes throughout the years but the music by DAVID BARTON, an extraordinarily talented songwriter, has remained brilliantly intense, with power pop hooks and a punk attitude. Live, The Outlets, then and now, create an overpowering presence, great music and kick ass rock! The Outlets' first releases were on Modern Method [Mike Dreese/Newbury Comics' label]; they later released singles on American Music/One Way Productions and One Way Productions. In 1985 The Outlets released their only full length album of the 80's "Whole New World" [Restless/Enigma] recorded at Blue Jay Recording Studio [Rob Dimit producing] by,and for, One Way Productions; this album received critical acclaim and won the designation as being recommended by Billboard Magazine. Rick Barton, one of the cofounders of The Outlets and David Barton's older brother, moved on to cofound THE DROPKICK MURPHY'S and acted as their rythm guitar player and lead songwriter until recently when he left The Dropkick Murphys to start his new band THE SHADOWBLASTERS but he has been known to appear on stage with The Outlets when his touring schedule permits. Rick re-joined the Outlets in the studio to record the self titled Hendrix Records 13 song 1999 release "The Outlets". Also released in 1999 by One Way Productions, "I REMEMBER" is an 18 song retrospective of some of THE OUTLETS most popular songs of the 80's and 90's. David Barton has also scored music for television and the movies {"Hard Promises" starring Cissey Spasic & William Peterson].
