Biography:

“A New Life Rises From The Ashes”.....

Members of an already established Chicago band, the future members of Outgrowth had been discussing the idea of tying to find a way to better express our musical ideas.

It was during this time that Outgrowth was unconsciously formed. After other members of the band left rehearsals, Joe and Raphael stayed behind to continue to write new material. The music they were writing was clearly different then what they had been currently playing.

After a few failed attempts to incorporate this new material into the existing band, Joe and Raphael decided it was time for them to leave. As the newly formed Outgrowth, they set our focus on tweaking their sound and writing new material.

The band spent a solid year writing new material and discovering their sound along the way. The process for the band was very therapeutic, allowing them to express and push themselves artistically in a way that had not been possible in the previous band.

As that year drew to an end and the remains of Winter faded with Springs arrival, Outgrowth emerged strong and polished. Ending up with enough material for 2 and half albums, they entered the recording studio.

Working with Raphael's past studio engineering and mixing experience, and the whole band's knowledge of pro level audio, Outgrowth created their our own studio, El Rancho De Rofonico, to record the debut album.

Outgrowth made their august debut with a self titled album released by Records-Records in November of 2007.

Flash forward to 2010: Outgrowth are in the studio writing and recording their second album. Anticipated release date is late summer of 2010.
