Inside Out was a Hardcore band from Orange County, California - notable for being the first band fronted by Zack de la Rocha, later of the hugely successful band Rage
Against the Machine.
Biography
Inside Out existed from August 1988 to roughly 1991, releasing a
single 7" EP, No Spiritual
Surrender, in 1990, on Revelation Records
(later converted to six song CD). They played several shows and even toured the
East Coast once before their breakup in 1991. They had written material
for a second record, to be titled Rage Against the Machine (whence the name for de la Rocha's next band came), but the
band broke up shortly after their guitarist, Vic DiCara, left the band to become a
Hare Krishna monk. Just before his departure Inside Out
performed on California radio station KLXU showcasing a number of new songs including the song Rage Against The Machine which had
become a staple in their recent live sets. The quality of the recording on the show while adequete for a radio broadcast is not
on par with that of the band's demo and EP recordings. Inside Out's outstanding and extremely intense live show insured that the
band would become legendary in its own right, even with out de la Rocha's mainstream break-through in Rage Against the Machine. Copies of their live radio appearance, their pre-No Spiritual
Surrender demo, as well as various live sets, have circulated the tape trading underground and file sharing world for years as
popular items.
