Biography

There are three artists named Inside Out: a hardcore punk band and a Dutch black gospel choir.

1) Inside Out was an early ’90s straight edge hardcore punk band from Orange County, California. They released one EP, No Spiritual Surrender, in 1990. They played in and were respected by the same Southern California youth crew/straight edge scene as Infest and Chain of Strength, and integrated old-school metal into their sound. They broke up in 1991 after their guitarist, Vic DiCara, left the band to become a Hare Krishna monk. Singer Zack de la Rocha (previously the guitarist for Hard Stance) left straight edge hardcore behind and went on to form the highly successful political rap-metal outfit Rage Against the Machine, who immediately signed with the major Epic.

2) Inside Out is a Dutch black gospel choir formed in 2000. The choir is led by Clifton Grep and has a repertoire of contemporary black gospel songs. In 2003 Inside Out released their first album Let The Praise Begin. Followed by Stronger in 2005 and the live recorded album Alive In You in 2008.
Three vocals of Inside Out ended between the last four candidates of the Dutch tv-contest Idols in 2008. One of them, Nikki, won the contest.

3) Inside out is an all male a capella sextet formed in 1999. http://www.insideout-acappella.com/
