Along the Lines is a metalcore band out of Thunder Bay, Canada is releasing their debut EP “Our Dear Finale”. The seven-track EP has 24 minutes of songs that hit hard, lyrics that pop, and a dramatic story that is based on a story of domestic abuse. They previously released two singles, to a great response from fans around the world. The band comments on the EP:

“We are absolutely stoked to finally release something we have been holding back this whole pandemic. We started in 2019 and have been working hard and keeping it under wraps for far too long! We wanted this EP to be presented to fans to listen and not just hear the music but also become part of the whole story that is unfolding with each song from front to back.”

Across the EP “Our Dear Finale”, Along the Lines play with a variety of tempos and effects, the first song “First Day on Earth” begins the story with a gentle, but powerful chorus. “Collapsed Heart” conveys feelings of rage, guilt, and despair. “Brand New Start” is upbeat, fast, and catchy, pulling the album off the ground from its dark story. A dramatic conclusion comes from the title track, which is certain to leave listeners eagerly anticipating what will come next.

A loosely based concept record, Along the Lines followed the story of the EP and each song leads to the next part of the story. More music is on the way as they are now writing their full-length. When it comes to playing live, they currently have a cool experimental light show which brings a lot more emotion to their shows.

The EP was produced, mixed, and mastered by Mark Governali and the cover artwork was done by Evan Middleton. Heavy, fun, and emotional, Along The Lines is recommended for fans of Famous Last Words, Beartooth, and Bring me the Horizon.

The EP is available as of October 8th on Alongthelinesband.bandcamp.com, Apple Music, Spotify.

Along the Lines is a metalcore band out of Thunder Bay, ON, Canada that is gearing up to release their debut EP “Our Dear Finale”. The seven-track EP has 24 minutes of songs that hit hard, lyrics that pop, and a dramatic story that is based on a story from one of their good friend’s experiences with domestic abuse. They already have two singles out: “Sanguine”, which is powerful, catchy, and substantial, it completely turns the story around. “Mute” approaches the common feeling of wanting to tell someone a secret but not feeling like they can be trusted, accompanied by heavy breakdowns and a bridge that pulls it all together. The band comments on the EP:

“We are absolutely stoked to finally release something we have been holding back this whole pandemic. We started in 2019 and have been working hard and keeping it under wraps for far too long! We wanted this EP to be presented to fans to listen and not just hear the music, but also become part of the whole story that is unfolding with each song from front to back.”

Along the Lines formed pre-pandemic with hopes to hit the scene as soon as possible. The band was initially the project of guitarist Tanner Bell, who had reached out to long-time friends and former bandmates of a previous project; Austin Baxter, Greg Vahaaho, and Brady Geurts (Drummer, bassist, and guitarist respectively). After some searching, the group later connected with another long-time friend, Jonathan Reid, to fulfill the role of vocalist. Unfortunately, the band’s plan to hit the scene as fast as possible came to a halt as the COVID-19 pandemic forced bar closures (among many other things) only days before their debut show. The band instead got to work on more writing and also recording their debut EP. They say that the evolution between the previous band’s sound and what’s coming up on “Our Dear Finale” is an incredible departure.

They are just getting started with this debut, they are currently writing their LP, which promises to be more heavy breakdowns and catchy rhythms. Emotionally, the music and lyrics bounce off each other to give a storytelling effect. Influenced mainly by metal, metalcore little bit of post-hardcore too, they are recommended listening for fans of Ice Nine Kills, Famous Last Words, and Beartooth. The EP comes out on October 8, 2022 and will be available on Alongthelinesband.bandcamp.com, Apple Music, Spotify.

“Like most ultra-modern metalcore, the real attraction is how well the band plays with dynamics, and Along the Lines do an admirable job. Our Dear Finale is all about extreme contrasts: the pummel of djent-y guitar rhythms, the roaring harsh vocals, the softer sections as pretty as pop, all carefully arranged for maximum impact. The production on these songs is hyper, which lets all the details reach your earholes.” – The Walleye

“Deathcore/metalcore, a full synthy sound, clean parts that are a bit too “mallcore” but the harsh parts are decent… eh” – The Moshpit 89.9FM (Madison, WI)
