Outline In Color Unveil Enraged New Album, ‘Coast Is Clear’ Share New Music Video For, ‘Fight Fair’

Post-hardcore band, Outline In Color are sharing their frenzied new record The Coast Is Clear on October 14 via Thriller Records. Accompanying the album release comes a new music video for “Fight Fair.”

Coast Is Clear intertwines cool undertones with contrasting frantic hooks. Chaos ensues from the second the tracks hit, displaying an array of distressing yet crisp vocals throughout. The record draws fans in, producing addicting sounds on a vast scale to collect new listeners into their fanbase. Features include Loveless, Michael Swank, AVOID, and Chris Roetter and was produced by Hiram Hernandez and Andrew Baylis.

“A decade of writing about our daily lives has led us here, to what feels like the beginning of our career. With an opportunity to finally share our most personal experiences with the world. This record is a reflection of our feelings during the pandemic, our stories from life on the road and personal struggles we faced to make it to this point. We hope this collection of songs will serve as a history book for the underdogs. The people who stay in the shadows from their own insecurities. The artists who wake up daily with an overwhelming feeling of imposter syndrome. We hope to serve as a looking glass into taking control of your own destiny and staying true to who you are. The album is a painting of our journey to realizing ourselves, our realization that the coast is clear.” Says the band about the album

Alongside the release of Coast Is Clear, Outline In Color has released a lawless new music video for “Fight Fair.”

“Fight Fair is about learning to keep your cool and remaining in your core-self when people around you are tempting or trying to push you to act unsavory. It’s all too easy for us to justify our less than honorable actions, especially when our opponent is fighting below the belt. “An eye for an eye” certainly feels good in the moment, but these situations tend to be deeper tests of our character. Fight Fair is a reminder to stay calm and to take the high road, even if you’re the only one.” Says the band about the track.

In addition the band is supporting Attack Attack! on their headlining The Level Up Tour. Tickets are now available.

About Outline In Color: Claiming influence from such varied acts as Senses Fail, The Used, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Blink-182, Alkaline Trio, Halifax, and CKY, Outline in Color seamlessly blends elements of hard rock, metal, nu-metal, pop, and R&B. The vocals are heavily laden with soulful singing and tastefully peppered with screaming and backing vocals, and the music features both rhythmic grooves and atmospheric ambience. The totality is a genre-blurring experience that gifts the listener with melodies that linger and beg to be heard again. Outline In Color have built a collective local fanbase with other promising bands to give the doubting promoters a reason to take a chance on them. Outgrowing their local scene they helped build, the band began touring more extensively, playing festivals such as SXSW and SO WHAT?!, and ultimately headlining their own tours overseas in the UK, Japan, and Australia. The band went through the growing pains that many do, including lineup changes that decentralized the band with members around the country. All the while as Outline in Color branched out, In their strongest line-up yet, the current four members were all present in the band back in 2009, and the band is recentered back in Tulsa. They can finally really take delight in the scene they took a small hand creating, in their hometown, and in the band they grew to become. Sometimes it just takes the right people and a healthy dose of heart.
After having released Imposter Syndrome in July 2020, Outline in Color has a sequel EP, Imposter Syndrome 2, already recorded by August and ready for release, two covers scheduled to be recorded in August and September, and a collaborative trap metal track to record with Dropout Kings. The band is ready to retour the world as soon as live shows are again allowed.
