Outerloop is a post-punk, rock band fronted by powerhouse vocalist, Taisha Estrada. Known for their high-energy live shows and angular songwriting, the band released an EP and an LP, while honing their all-out live performances for crowds in Washington D.C. area at venues from Fort Reno to Comet Ping Pong, and regionally across Maryland and Virginia.

Outerloop's submission to NPR Music's 2022 Tiny Desk Contest was recognized as "an uptempo track that would easily entertain a music festival crowd.” (DCist) The video earned the band an in-studio interview which aired on WAMU and a spot on the first night of the Tiny Desk On the Road tour, opening for this year’s contest winner Alisa Amador as well as 2021 winner Neffy at Songbyrd Music House.

The band’s debut EP, 'EP01' released in January of 2022 was hailed as "a genre-busting success" (Alchemical Records) and was soon followed up with their self-titled full-length LP released in June 2022: "This music has many parts that fit together in complex ways, to create a stunning musical picture."
