Tom Morello:
A world-music Rage Against The Machine. Outernational uncompromisingly tells the truth, and they paint a picture of the world the way they see it and a way that we don't hear on the radio and television as much as people need to.
BBC Radio:
These boys are the next big thing... They are an incredible mix of hard-rock, hip-hop, and world music. They mix politics and dance music in the best way, much like The Clash did.
The Village Voice:
Coupled with dynamic rhythms that somehow flow together like streams of water, their ripped-from-the-headlines lyrics of liberation struggle had the audience literally--at least in the case of one wild fan in a Mexican wrestling mask--hanging from the rafters.

Puis entre sur scne... ma sœur..? Mais non, c'est le chanteur de Outernational! L'attitude incroyable du spcimen la longue chevelure boucle et aux pantalons de cuir aura fortement contribu faire du groupe new-yorkais mon coup de cœur de la soire. Un mlange harmonieux de vieux rock, de reggae et de ska. Si Outernational reste dans l'ombre aprs cette tourne amricaine, je dclare le monde sourd, aveugle, idiot.
