Here is the full review:

This mag has covered punk/hardcore original Smalley since his ’80s salad days with DYS, ALL, and DAG NASTY and later DOWN BY LAW. So no surprise, the Boston/D.C. vet’s debut with his Bandoleros – three Spaniards and a “crazy Argentinian” – is punk rock that’s actually punk rock, with punishing guts, sing-along choruses, and zinging beats. Outsiders is his most satisfying LP in eons, smash-bang like Dag Nasty days – closer, perhaps, to Dag’s BRIAN BAKER’S BAD RELIGION music since 1995. While the title track’s sentiment lends a thematic embrace – punk shines when it beckons you to an intelligent revolt – the snarl of the filthy guitar leads of the Mush Leatherface-like “Tear it Down” (like the late Dickie Hammond just gassed a pedal) and it’s Buzzcocks/Naked Raygun/Misfits/Bad R “whoa-oh” invocations, or the All-ish mid tempo riffing of “Journey”, make this album a cut above, like the better D.C Dischord post-thrash punk, too. Hot catchy and alive! (littlerocketrecords.co.uk)
