There are several artists named The Outsiders (11 are mentioned here): (1) The Outsiders were a sixties beat band from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Formed in 1960 as a neighbourhood band from Amsterdam East, The Outsiders became one of the most succesful Dutch groups of the 1960s. They made some lastingly great records and never recorded anyone else's material, with singer Wally Tax writing the lyrics and guitarist Ron Splinter the music for nearly all of the twelve 45s and three LPs they made.

The Oracle is a narrative, epic, progressive atmospheric metal band with black/ambient undertones, from Georgetown, Ontario. Formed in early 2006, as a Progressive rock/metal outfit, the Oracle has evolved and explored many genres through its brief career, ranging from progressive, expressionist, neo-romantic, ambient and electronic soundscapes to brutal death and black metal atmospheres. The full-length conceptual album, Tragedy in Twilight: The Apotheosis of the Mad, was fully recorded at Limehouse Sound Studios.

There are several bands with this name. The UK group The Smoke consisted of Mick Rowley on vocals, Mal Luker on guitar, Zeke Lund on bass and Geoff Gill on drums.
