The Rankoutsiders are the ideal vehicle for Pat Todd's fantastic songs. A prolific writer with an eye on life in the margins - whether they be in small towns or the big sprawling city he has called home for 40 years - Todd routinely hits the mark where youth and the advancement of age find common ground in alienation and willfulness. Pat knows that rock’n’roll is not necessarily a young person's game, and nor is it a glamorous one; the name he gave this band accurately points to where he and they are coming from.
