FADED OUTLETS are a three piece band who play music ranging from "hard rock to coffee shop love." (Kolus/Allie Doyle). Heavily influenced by what has come to be known as "the Seattle Sound," the Faded Outlets draws influences from Classic Rock, Grunge, Punk, Pop, Metal, and even Jazz and Classical to form a unique sound.
Although the Faded Outlets take a great deal of pride in their recordings, the best way to experience them is to come out to one of their shows. They take the most pride in being a live band, playing real music, and hoping to share it with the people.

Faded Outlets first formed in February of 2005 after schoolmates Andrew Namkung (Vocals/Guitar) and Bryce Gourley (Drums) met. The jam sessions that were being recorded onto a cheap audio-cassette, soon turned into the sound that is now know as Faded Outlets. In July 2005, the band release their first 4-track EP, "Smudge," which featured the songs "Caffeine" and "Smudge." The band stumbled upon their bass player, Jared Carlstrom, in early 2006. After passing the grueling initiation, which involved "Dave's Insanity Hot Sauce," the band was complete. In mid-2006, the band played their first live concert at Studio Seven in Seattle, WA. They continue to love playing live whenever they get the chance. During the summer of 2006 Faded Outlets began work on their first full length album, "Radiowaves," which was released in September 2007. "Radiowaves" features songs such as "Backlash" and "Tired Of Clouds." Since it's release the band has been writing new material and working on planning shows and an upcoming tour. Although they sometimes feel intimidated by the music "scene" the band sticks to playing the music they love. Their ethics are rooted in the punk rock way of a "do-it-yourself" attitude. The guys of Faded Outlets hope to build a strong fan base and deliver music that is real, enjoyable, and passionate. To those who are fans of 50 Cent, Madonna, Britney Spears, or Michael Jackson... sorry, but you will never catch the Faded Outlets covering them.

The band started in february of 2005 when schoolmates Bryce Gourley(drums) and Andrew Namkung (vocal/guitar) met. What started as jam sessions recorded onto a $25 cassette recorder from a local Fred Meyers, became the band Faded Outlets as we all know it. In July of 2005, the band released a 4-song demo EP Album, featuring the song "Smudge", along with their previously released songs "Caffeine", and "School Bus." The CD also features an unreleased acoustic song, "Empathy" which brought up a whole different side of the Faded Outlets.(To purchase one of the CDs, please contact one of the band members) The band hopes to build a strong fan base and deliver music that is enjoyable.
