BIO

Glasgow, Scotland

Outblinker is a maximalist post-punk project based in Glasgow, Scotland.
The group is comprised of members/ex-members of cult European underground acts like Dead or American, Coffin Mulch, Kabobo and Hey Enemy and have cemented a reputation for euphoric, high-impact live performances, honing their craft across the European DIY and squat scene since 2016.

Comparisons and influences include the angular punk energy of Wire, the cyber-prog of Trans Am, the cinematic bombast of GY!BE, the saturated electronica of Fuck Buttons and the pumping EBM of Frontline Assembly.

Here are a few bullet points that might be of interest:

• Live electronic rock music, no laptops.
• Latest recordings (as well as those previously) co-produced by Benjamin Power (Blanck Mass/Fuck Buttons – also worked with John Carpenter, Placebo, Black MIDI, etc).
• Most recent video release from 2021 – a cover of “Super Sex” by Morphine (see below) – is sitting at more than 2 million organic views thanks to some pleasantly-surprising initial interest from Central and Southern Asia, Australia and now the USA.
• Our “Remains of Walter Peck” EP was premiered in SPIN magazine in the USA.
• Touring the European DIY circuit in a mobile metal box since 2016.
