It's rare to come across a band that blends punk, ska, and rock with a hint of gypsy the way Outernational do on Eyes on Fire. The EP produced by Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello is a political look at the world with an upbeat, but realistic tone. It's an inspiring release that touches on real topics that the nation is struggling with. Morello even sings and plays guitar on "Fighting Song." The trumpet playing is sharp and doesn't dominate the music the music. "In Their Sights" is one of the strongest songs on the release with a catchy beat, great songwriting, and danceable in-your-face melody with anethmic punk tones. "I've been burned and bruised, brutalized and used, pigeonholed and confused, pushed down and confused," sings Miles. "Blood on the Streets" has a reggae vibe that's undeniably good. "Fast Eddie" is a hopeful song about having someone to be with when struggling around war. This is a quality release that has all the right elements. The album is available for purchase here.
