Press Quotes
“[The Outer Vibe] was the winner of the FOX’s Rock Search contest last December [2005] and is considered to be one of the Midwest’s finest bands.” – 101.3 The Fox
“I have many good bands on my page, but [The Outer Vibe] are the freshest sound that I have heard in many years! T.O.V. is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise bland music scene. This band brings back the fun of a time gone by and something new at the same time. I just want to step out and dance. Clean vocals and tight sound tell me that this band is in 'it' for fun. Your music moves me.” – Itsabou’s Entertainment Gallery
“[Games We Play] could vie for local album of the year.” – The Grand Rapids Press
“…with this CD, Grand Rapids band The Outer Vibe shows why the group was chosen as the latest Hometown Rock Search winner. ‘Games We Play’ gets your attention from the first sound on ‘Anybody Home’ to the last on ‘I Do’… ’Games We Play’ may be one of the best CDs you’ll hear right now. Buy it; you’ll like it.” – Revue Magazine, Grand Rapids
