The Outsiders was a Netherlands-based rock band that emerged during the mid-1960s. Known for their raw energy and experimental sound, they integrated elements of garage rock, rock and roll, and psychedelic rock, which was distinctive in the Dutch music scene. The band was led by singer Wally Tax, whose expressive vocals became a signature element of their sound. Their most influential work, "CQ," released in 1968, is considered a milestone in the genre of psychedelic rock. Despite their relatively short career, The Outsiders significantly contributed to the evolution of rock music in the Netherlands.
