Moon Shot releases stunning new single Broken Bones – EP and first headliner tour in Central Europe in April

Moon Shot, who got off to a flying start with their ‘Confession’ and ‘The Power’ albums, today releases their brand new single ‘Broken Bones’, and the song paves the way for their upcoming EP release of the same name on April 4th. The new EP captures the band’s unbridled energy, creativity, and Moon Shot’s signature powerful lyrics and convincing melodies – not to mention the dynamics.

The music video of Broken Bones was directed by Sami Joensuu, watch it here.

“This song is like a rock bullet train, packed full of groove, melodies and emotions,” says Moon Shot guitarist and song writer Jussi Ylikoski.

“And at the same time, it’s a celebration of the imperfect beauty of life,” adds vocalist Ville Malja.
