   About LOWLINE
Photobucket

Manchester is a funny place. Few places are so full of musical heritage, and with that comes expectation; something which has been unfulfilled in recent times. The city has been crying out for something genuinely new that can make a real impact: a band that draws inspiration from the city’s legacy, whilst still moving it forward. Enter the cities newest heroes: Lowline.

Lowline are intense and sinister yet totally up lifting. They are group of mates in their early twenties who formed in the spring of 2007 and spent the rest of that year writing, locked away in a warehouse in Manchester’s less-than-glamorous Ancoats district. There are flashes of inspiration from cult legends The Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine,but they strike a rare balance between razor sharp rock and roll, and epic shoegaze. Lowline’s intense guitar sound is underpinned by tribal house tinged drums and fuzzed up bass lines, as all combine to make something with energy,atmosphere and spirit.

Their sound embodies the atmosphere of their City, whilst remaining distinctive and innovative, a combination that sets them apart from the usual bunch of shanty-chanting mockneys, and shows clearly that this is the start of something special.

Their sound impressed renowned oasis and the verve producer Owen Morris so much, that he immediately took the band into the studio and recorded some tracks over many late nights. The first yield from this session is their debut single Monitors, a timeless indie anthem which harbors Morris’s distinct style. It is set to be released on March 17th on 1-2-3-4 Records (Whitey, The Bishops) with the reverse side being taken up by the driving and relentless Last Chance. This massive debut has already begun to grab the eye of DJ’s, journalists and audiences alike, with NME and XFM showing great support for the band from the outset.

Live, the band are immense. They have crafted a rip-roaring show and brim with energy and confidence, which combined with their dance sensibility that has seen them demanding attention at shows across the country. Tours with The Enemy and Happy Mondays have seen Lowline continue to cultivate an ardent fan base, and as tales still spread about their recent warehouse party in Manchester (which guested close friend Nick McCabe - The Verve) many more have sat up and taken notice. They now embark upon a vigorous touring schedule throughout the next few months as well as returning to the studio with Morris to continue to work on their debut LP.

The word is out and Lowline are quickly becoming one of the UK’s most exciting new prospects, with Mike, Andy, Sam and Robbie intent on carving their own unique place in rock and roll.
