The Outcasts were one of the most popular bands to emerge from the punk rock scene in Belfast, Northern Ireland. After releasing a single on the short-lived IT Records, the Outcasts put out two seminal singles and a full length on Terri Hooley's Good Vibrations.

Originally consisting of the Cowan brothers Colin (drums), Martin (rhythm guitar and vocals), and Greg (lead vocals and bass), as well as lead guitarist Colin "Getty" Getgood, the Outcasts's two GV singles ("Justa Nother Teenage Rebel" and "Self Conscious Over You") are rightfully considered classics to this day. In this episode, we talk to Martin Cowan about the band's history, as well as what it was like to be a part of the larger Belfast music scene.
