Moonshot

THIS IS WHAT 21ST CENTURY ROCK IS ALL ABOUT. TUNES RIGHT FROM THE HEART. LET THE MUSIC RIP YOU INTO EXCITED PIECES WHILE THE LYRICS GLUE YOU TOGETHER.

With years of combined experience and hundreds of gigs around the world as members of Disco Ensemble, Children of Bodom and Lapko, Jussi Ylikoski, Ville Malja, Mikko Hakila and Henkka Seppälä united in 2020 to form Moon Shot. In 2021, their debut album Confession came out in partnership with OMN Label Services, and you can buy it or stream it on all digital platforms.

Moon Shot’s debut release followed the resounding success of debut track “Big Bang”, and further singles “Blood Looks Cool”, and “Confession”. Guitar player Jussi Ylikoski shared back then: “I’m very excited to finally release our debut album Confession. When writing and judging the songs for this album, the most important thing for me was to remain true and honest to myself. If something didn’t feel right, it had to go. This is the only way for me to protect the inspiration and meaning of this work and to present a meaningful album. And when this is achieved, everything else is secondary.”

„Confession is a labour of love,“ he concluded.

Along with the album, Moon Shot also released the video for standout, focus track “Marlboro Man”, a favorite of vocalist Ville Malja’s: “The big sing-along chorus combined with airy and sensitive verse parts makes this song meaningful for all of us. The intimate vocal performance backed up with rich harmonies delivered by the band will travel close to you while listening.

Moon Shot took “Confession” on the road as the Pandemic allowed, starting with a couple of Finnish dates, to be followed by a pan-European tour with Danko Jones and some further selected shows and a tour along country mates Cyan Kicks in Germany.
