The Northern Line celebrate the single later that night ( April, 11th ) at Fireseed Arts in Framingham with The Chelsea Curve and Britpop Social Club

We had ourselves an absolute blast and a half checking out the splendid new single “Throw A Fist” from Boston indie band, The Northern Line. You can check out “Throw A Fist” Here

There is nothing better in the whole world than listening to a song for the first time and being absolutely blown away from the musical bliss that you just heard . This is absolutely the case with “Throw A Fist”

With a sound unlike anything else making waves at the moment, The Northern Line filter their style of Britpop, baggy, Madchester, and acid house through an invitation urging everyone to bang a drum, throw a fist, and get on the indie dancefloor. And the invite now takes on a literal meaning.

The crisp and emphatic “Throw A Fist” gets the single release treatment on release night at Fireseed Arts Studios in Framingham, pairing up The Northern Line with Boston mod-pop trio the Chelsea Curve and Britpop Social Club, the mad-fer-it DJ team of Michael V (the pill boston) and Lady K. 

After declaring arrival with anthemic debut single “Lightning Strikes” this past fall, the Mass.-chester lads of The Northern Line now settle into a delectable groove with the melodic “Throw A Fist,” with both to be featured on their debut EP set for release later this year. It’s a song fueled by euphoric liberation, indebted to memories and moments – and the ability to move on past life’s stresses. It’s a throwback in style while looking entirely ahead. 

“‘Throw a Fist’ is a personal song, but it is also a song that connects with anyone who has done the hard work to move on after a meaningful relationship falls apart,” says vocalist Bilvox. “The liberation, the freedom of the ‘fist’ that’s thrown – mostly metaphorically – is throwing away the pain, the failed dream, and embracing the future.” 

That kind of optimism harkens back to the halcyon days of the early- and mid-’90s, when all we needed was a melody and a dream. “Throw A Fist” serves a song that truly defines The Northern Line’s sonic exploration; it was the first track that came together after Bilvox’s prior band fell apart, and where “Lightning Strikes” declared a sort-of arrival, “Throw A Fist” is the sound of a band settling into its own creative skin and forging a true super-sonic identity.

Settling in as a cohesive unit – vocalist and guitarist Bilvox joined by keyboardist Mike Ackley; lead guitarist Pete Zeigler; bassist Joshh Magee; and drummer, backing vocalist, and engineer McG – the new single finds the quintet firing on all creative cylinders.

The drums provide quite a spark in “Throw A Fist “ which , ignites an electrifying spirit throughout the amazing new track. The Northern Line, have scored big time with their latest melodic gem .
