Finnish rock band Soundrun returns with their new single, “Back in my hood,” a gritty track that brings their signature live energy straight to your speakers. The trio, made up of Jouni Juntunen (drums), Hannu Jääskeläinen (vocals, guitar), and Timo Korpela (bass), lean into their strengths here: tight rhythms, a punchy riff, and a no-frills rock attitude. It’s a full-throttle banger that feels built for sweaty club stages and festival crowds.
The track started with a bit of creative experimentation, tuning the A string to G on an acoustic guitar, which led to its early working title “A to G.” While the music came together quickly during rehearsals, the lyrics took a bit more time. The result is a story of returning home after a wild ride, with lyrics such as “Got in all sorts of trouble” and “I’ve got some new tricks up my sleeve” painting a picture of growth and grit. It’s an anthem for those who’ve been through it and come out stronger.
“Back in my hood” shows Soundrun at their most confident. It’s catchy, hard-hitting, and easy to imagine lighting up a live set. With their debut album on the way, this track sets the tone and shows they’re not slowing down anytime soon. If you’re into high-energy rock with real heart, this is one to turn up loud.
