Dope Oüt - Scars & Stripes (2017)

After struggling to play gigs all over Paris, Dope Oüt genuinely emerged in 2013 from the ashes of different projects and past line-ups. Dope Oüt eventually achieved to create a stronger identity and to build an established reputation on stage. They don't limit themselves to the influences of a single style and create their own musical recipe. Dope Oüt wants to sound American mixing four major styles such as classic rock, hard rock, punk and metal in order to build their own heavy rock : Dope'n'Roll ! The album was recorded at Studio Plus in Paris, under the direction of Greg Canone from Feerkins Prod. For Scars & Stripes, the band kept the former compositional method, namely every piece of music is composed during rehearsals: first comes a good riff, a melody is added, then words come out and we're off... This album's intention was to return to the roots of Rock of which the whole group is fond, with all its simplicity and effectiveness. Each title was thought about differently according to the atmosphere in which it was composed, but always with the same desire to create a song both accessible and forceful. Combining metal, rock and heavy music, Scars and Stripes, tells us about childhood dreams, brotherhood, youthful mistakes and life-changing encounters.
