Øutline‘s third single, “Moonlight,” offers nostalgic 80s hard rock with an attitude. The four-minute song leaves no one cold, pushing forward with the power of a compelling guitar riff. The melodic vocals are accompanied by backing vocals, and the song ends with a euphoric guitar solo.  This song has proven to be the perfect closing song at gigs, leaving a lasting impression on the listener.

Øutline has performed in its current lineup since 2022. The band has been performing actively across Finland and has released seven singles that have gained traction on Spotify’s rock playlists and local radio stations. After a short break, it’s time once again to release new music and hit the road.

Øutline’s second and heaviest single to date, “925,” dives straight back into the early 2000s with an attention-grabbing blend of modern hard rock and nu-metal. The five-minute track pulls no punches: from the very beginning, listeners are hit with moshpit-worthy guitar riffs, rapid-fire vocals, and cutting scream sections, before the song culminates into a crushing breakdown followed by an euphoric guitar solo. Proven to be a live favorite, “925”is a track that demands attention.

Behind the aggressive vocal delivery, the lyrics of “925” explore themes of a burnout caused by the work-life rat race and the desire to break free from it. As the song progresses, exhaustion and frustration make everything feel meaningless, until a glimmer of hope finally emerges.

The song is Øutline’s second single from the upcoming EP, offering a small bite of the band’s fresh sound and expanding catalogue. All tracks on the EP were mixed by Sami Niittykoski and mastered by Miro Kiiski. The new single will be featured in Øutline’s spring 2026 live shows, which will be announced via the band’s social media channels.

Øutline is a Finnish hard rock band, a project of five guys in their twenties, blending genres and mixing the new with the old. In early 2026, the band will release several singles leading up to their debut EP, set to drop in March.

“Bite the Bullet” is a tribute to the golden age of ’80s hard rock. This four-minute track drives through waves of synths, pushed along by gritty guitars and punchy drums that will make even the stiffest listener nod along. Catchy melody is delivered through a mix of smooth and raspy vocal tones, and the whole package is tied together with rich, multi-layered backing vocals that takes the listener back to the legendary cassette era.

The title “Bite the Bullet” refers to the English expression meaning to face a tough situation head-on. In the lyrics, this feeling is present in the story of a difficult relationship where ending things is the only sensible, but a challenging choice. The band hopes to encourage people to step outside their comfort zone and make the hard decisions life sometimes demands.

The song is Øutline’s first single from the upcoming EP, offering a small bite of the band’s fresh sound and expanding catalogue. All tracks on the EP were mixed by Sami Niittykoski and mastered by Miro Kiiski. The new single can be heard live on 7 December 2025 at Rock Neck in Jyväskylä, Finland, and more shows are coming this spring, with announcements to follow on the band’s social media channels.
