Just when you think all the bands sound like poor imitations of Eighties New Wave, along come a few guys from Brooklyn who sound like the Clash.  As part of the Fortnight Journal music show case, local band Outernational took the stage. They rocked hard like punks on some tunes, gave us something like Irish fighting songs on others, and even a little Los Lobos with trumpet included to mix it up.

In this exclusive video, shot for Hudson Jeans, lead singer Miles Solay — a self proclaimed Communist– gets his boys roused with “Fight Song.” There’s also an anti-war song in their repetoire called “Sir, No Sir.” They’ve just come off tour with UK punk band GBH and last year they opened for Chris Cornell.
