"There aren't really many good bands coming out of Wolverhampton, just one great band called the Lines"
Robert Plant - Led Zeppelin 
On the surface, Wolverhampton in the West Midlands seems like any other post industrial town. it takes a special band to rise above and shine through the haze.  The Lines are that band.  The four-piece on combine the soaring heartfelt vocals of lead singer Alex Ohms with Dean Bate's epic guitar melodies.  The driving rhythm section of Chris Titley on bass and Dave O'Connor on drums provides a rigid backbone to their well-crafted songs.

"We'll burn this town down like nobody else can" sings Alex on their debut. After listening to their new single 'Half Dreams', you'll find it difficult to disagree. This beautiful brooding song recalls classic Radiohead and Verve epics.  Topped with Alex's heart wrenching vocals and Dean's lush guitar, it's set to soundtrack many a blustery night this Christmas. 
They have just recorded their debut album with Alan Smyth, who's previous bands include Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, The Long Blondes and a horde of others.  It'll be hitting the shops during 2010 
Previous single Domino Effect reached the Indie chart top 10, filling the airwaves on XFM's Evening Playlist (Manchester / Wales / Scotland), Xposure London and Steve Lamacq's Top 5.


Invitations to support fellow Midlanders the Twang and Editors came rolling in thick and fast. These were then followed by unforgettable gigs with Jack Penate, the Holloways, Little Man Tate, the Maccabees, Babyshambles, Supergrass and The Charlatans. Having blown away Frequency Festival in Austria last summer and having played as far afield as Moscow(!) these chaps are sure to awaken the UK to their unique sound before long.
