Bullets and Octane signed to RCA Records in 2005. Jack Tankersley and Skye Jayne were replaced by guitarist James Daniel, and the band released their major label debut "In the Mouth of the Young" in April 2006. Skye Jayne later ended up in the band The Chelsea Smiles, with whom he currently plays. In early 2006, they toured as openers on Avenged Sevenfold's City of Evil arena tour. After recently finishing a tour around western USA with Bullet for My Valentine, Bullets and Octane then heading off for another UK tour with StoneSour this time.
In 2007, Bullets and Octane announced their split with RCA Records, claiming they were mistreated. They are set to release the self-produced album 'Song for the Underdog' during their US tour in June with Unwritten Law, selling it only at shows for the first month. After this, they plan to release the album digitally, then retail. Bullets bassist Brent Clawson has taken over all mixing and producing duties for this album.

Bullets And Octane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What the Hell let's go!
Break Out!
Where the Darkness rolls
Break Out!
What the Hell let's go!
Break Out!
Hey!
You wanna wanna breakout
Hey Hey!
Well our time is right now
Day turns into night
then we turn into frightening things
Chorus:
So what the hell lets go
right when the darkness rolls
Drive me crazy all night long
'cause it ain't getting better, no it ain't getting better for you
get up become someone new
Drive me crazy all night long
'cause it ain't getting better, no it ain't getting better for you
By every rising moon
in the darkness we shall bloom alive
And from the shadow creepy crawly sin
the corruption of the young
Begins!
Chorus (2x)
The lyrics to Bullets And Octane's song, Breakout, are an anthem or a call to action for those who feel stuck and trapped in the routine of life. The song's raw energy and aggressive tone capture the frustration and desire for escape felt by many. The lyrics encourage listeners to break out of their mundane lives and embrace the darkness that lies ahead. The darkness in this context is not meant to be taken literally but rather as a metaphor for the unknown or uncertain aspects of life that come with taking risks, trying new things, or pursuing one's dreams.
The repeated use of "what the hell let's go" and "our time is right now" reinforces the idea of seizing the moment and taking action to create change. The lines "day turns into night, then we turn into frightening things" further emphasize the transformative nature of breaking out of one's routine. The adrenaline-fueled chorus urges listeners to embrace the chaos and uncertainty that come with breaking out and becoming someone new.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was released in 2007 on the band's album, "Songs for the Underdog," which was produced by Gilby Clarke, the former guitarist of Guns N' Roses. The album received critical acclaim and helped to establish Bullets And Octane as a prominent band in the punk rock scene.
