A turn up for the books, insofaras the Lines reverse the process and play electronic pop with traditional instruments - rapid see-saw bass noises over a metronomic beat, but with a guitar taking the role of occasional synthesizer comment. Chris Bohn, Melody Maker, Nov 10, 1979
Daffy and charming intervention from the neo-psychedelic wing of Modern Chaps United in the shape of The Lines, who emerge from an intriguingly multicoloured mist with the potpourri of sylistic devices on long-term loan from Marc Bolan and Lou Reed. Charles Shaar Murry, NME, Nov 10, 1979
Post-punk legends The Lines performed and recorded in the late 70s and early 80s, but never truly broke-up. Sessions continued through the 80s, which will see the light of day soon, and now, many years after their last show, they are playing together again. Watch this page for more information.
