Out of the Blue discography
This is a discography of Out of the Blue, an all-male a cappella group from the University of Oxford, England. The student-run group, which arranges all of its own music, has an eclectic repertoire but focuses on covers of modern rock and pop songs. To date Out of the Blue has released nine studio albums, the first of which was released in 2001, three live albums, Live 2009, Live 2010 and Live 2011, and one compilation album, Ten.
Out of the Blue is also featured on a further two compilations: the group's rendition of Damien Rice's Cold Water from their Childish Thing album is included on BOCA 2010, and their version of Love It When You Call by The Feeling, also from Childish Thing, was selected to be on the Voices Only 2010 complication album.
