If you consider yourself hip to where it’s at, then you owe it yourself to check out the debut self titled EP, from Boston based Masschester quintet, The Northern Line . You can listen to the self-titled EP, Here

Every song on The Northern Line’s debut EP, is packed with an electrifying sound that can be felt on both sides of the Atlantic. The Northern Line ( named after the underground English transit route) take the joy and vibe of Brit-pop alternative and give it a seismic sized jolt , and it is freaking brilliant.

Releasing new music always carries a special kind of electricity,” says Northern Line frontman and lyricist Bilvox. “Even for some legendary bands, putting out a new record is a statement of purpose: A reminder of who they are right now, and a signal that they still have something urgent to say. That feeling is amplified when it’s your first EP release. Musically, this record is a cross-section of what you experience when you see us live: You dance, you move, you feel the lift – and you want to throw your hands in the air.”

The Northern Line’s message to the world comes alive in the music, with Bilvox (vocals and rhythm guitar) rounded out by an assembled collection of American Anglophiles in Pete Kitchener (lead guitar), Joshh Magee (bass), McG (drums, percussion, and backing vocals), and Mike Ackley, the co-founding keyboard player who has since relocated back to England, with new recruit Carrie Ingber holding down his spot. 

The opening track, “Lightning Strikes” , is a melodic punch of adrenaline that feels endless and explosive.

The driving beat on “Throw A Fist”, feels like an open call to absolutely rock out ! ( we gladly accepted) It is impossible not to get excited about this song !

“Let’s Roll On “ is a song that will instantly inspire and consume your music loving heart . We feel like the cinematic appeal of “Let’s Roll On” , would lend itself perfectly to the silver screen.

The very British mood and vibe of the closing track, “Out In The Drift” makes it the perfect track to close out the epic collection of songs from The Northern Line .

So put on your best threads and get down to the marvelous melodies of The Northern Line.
