Post-Punk / Rock outfit, Outerloop, stands in protest with their brand new single “Huracán”. An explosive and aggressive track that defies the Puerto Rican government in an exciting mix of invigorating riffs, earth-shaking drums, and stunning vocals. Out now!
ORDER “HURACÁN” ON BANDCAMP NOW!
Outerloop was created in 2019 by powerhouse vocalist, Taisha Estrada and guitarist Don Potter. Known for their high-energy live shows, the band has already released an EP and an LP, with their song “Just Behave” winning the 2023 Wammie (Washington D.C. area music award) for ‘best hard rock/punk song’. These guys have unrestrained energy and a fierce attitude, making their music both entertaining and thought-provoking.
“Huracán” is an explosive track with harsh lyrics and a heavy truth: The issue of displacement on the island of Puerto Rico, leaving hard-working people with nothing.
“Huracán is a song about the issue of displacement, more specifically the kind of displacement that is being seen all over the island of Puerto Rico. People are given 30 days notice and forced to vacate properties that they rent or even own, so that developers can have access to the land closest to the beachfront.“
Taisha Estrada
The track is of a bilingual nature, with Spanish lyrics being the voice of the people, and English lyrics being the voice of the uncaring oppressor. It makes perfect sense that the single comes with such violent riffs and rhythms. It is a display of anger and defiance that aims to shake the very heart of the listener.
“The neglect, and oftentimes facilitation, on behalf of the government is leaving communities desolate, not only affecting homes but all infrastructure. Schools and clinics are left with no funding and are being shut down. Once-protected beaches full of crucial wildlife are being destroyed.“
Taisha Estrada
With an ever-growing plea, the voice of the people screams to the winds in desolation, singing in a desperate chant. We hope that with this single, Outerloop will be able to inform and make people aware of these awful acts and, in time, help Puerto Rican people fight against the greedy oppressors. So, listen now!
