"Outside Agitators" marks the debut of Seattle's musical alchemists, Octopus Attacks Shark!!. This album, divided into two conceptual sides, showcases the band's diverse sound.

Octopus Attacks Shark!! crafts, reinterprets, and transforms music from a variety of genres, including punk, garage, industrial, prog, hellhound blues, and twisted roots. The album blends the frenetic energy and lyrical calls to action of punk with the anthemic explorations of prog and alternative garage metal, resulting in a unique synthesis of sound.
