Luke Karolak (Guitar and Vocals) says “Outspoken deals with trying to fit in yet wanting to be left well alone. It is a thrashing open string drone, punctuated by a frying single note, and power chord. Outspoken came about due to tuning up a new set of Strings, and hitting upon a pattern that fitted perfectly, and a set of lyrics that are direct, and firm. The title was intended to mean what it is”
