The OutLiars is a remote project that came to fruition whilst collaborating on their debut single “Light Me Up”!



This is their story so far and it all starts with a riff and a vision!



John Serino, guitarist/songwriter (former front man for Brewchad), had an idea to collaborate with friends across the web and try to mix different musical styles.



“The Riff was cool, and I thought about who I wanted to work with. Maxx Zinno was the first person I shared it with. After a couple of weeks he sent back a recording with drums and arrangement ideas. He had restructured the song. At this point it was just drums and a single guitar but It was hard not getting excited about it, Maxx had nailed it! Well, now it needs bass,” incited Serino!



John reached out to another buddy, Jean-Étienne Sheehy who immediately added a melodic and groovy bass line to the track. The song was getting somewhere but something was missing…



This song was originally intended to be an instrumental jam but Maxx suggested it needed vocals. John felt his voice wasn’t the right fit so he reached out to former band mate Brandon Mignacca.



Mignacca wasn't sure about what type of vocals would best suit the song but feeling the old school bluesy vibe, he asked if he could add an organ track instead. “This is what came to mind when I heard it,” he explained. “The organ was a nice surprise; Brandon managed to help fill up the song, while adding to that classic rock feel we all thought was starting to brew,” adds Serino.



After nearly 6 months of sending tracks back and forth, the song was sounding great but still needed vocals. Serino reached out to Danny Rossi, an old friend from college he hadn’t spoken to in over 15 years.
