LAL outline their songs with intricate drum and bass pencilings, fill them in with scribbled, weaving guitar colors and then layer them with vocals that express a myriad of fears, hopes, and expectations, thrown out onto a musical canvas that mirror diverse, and sometimes conflicting personal influences. Lines Across Lines creates their own revealing self portrait of rock music with adult driven topics about human behavior, the future of our world, and the relationships we share.
Many of the new songs from their upcoming full length are difficult to draw an exact comparison from both an influence, and genre standpoint. But if you ask the band members, they will tell you that they prefer it that way. One can definitely hear elements of The Cure, Bloc Party, and even The Mars Volta at times. Regardless who anyone compares them to, the gentlemen of Lines Across Lines just want to create good rock songs...and that's all that matters. www.myspace.com/linesacrosslines
REVIEWS:
"the debut Lines Across Lines EP (Octopussy) is suggestively named after the James Bond novel/film character portrayed by Swedish born ex-model/actress Maud Adams. Where else but in 1983 could one find something that sounds so familiar (pinches of post-punk and New Wave juxtaposed against an indie pop-rock sound that recalls Hershey, PA's the Ocean Blue) .......You can't miss the band's melodic influences, but even as Octopussy could have been released to fanfare 25 years ago. With knockout numbers like "If People Could Be Reset," "Instead of Standing Still" and the hot "House of 1000 Glances," it still has a really nice edge to it."
-Cool Cleveland
"The quartet plays crunchy, melodic indie rock that manages to keep things groovy, even on the darker tunes. And in the chilling "Letter to a Dying City," singer Chris Wright addresses his Cleveland hometown: "It feels like the only way to get anyone to notice is to say goodbye." We prefer this grand hello."
-Scene Magazine
""Octopussy", released digitally at their iPod release show,....is an artful seven song disc that showcases the stellar vocals of frontman Chris Wright..."
