A Borderline Mixtape

Snooze the f*cking alarm

About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorA Borderline Mixtape was formed in late 2004 with the aim of creating the ultimate mixtape. Songs that would match the listener's current mood and genre, whether it'd be pop, r&b, hip hop, rock & roll, metal, indie, emo, emotronic, screamo, screamotronic, Christian rap or reggaeton. Creating the ultimate mixtape is a difficult (almost impossible) task, but that's what makes it fun for us. You might be thinking "Hold on, this band can't possibly write a rap song.."
..but you'd be surprised.
A Borderline Mixtape played their debut gig at Inverse in November 2005.
The band played their second gig at Croydon's Cartoon Club in March 2006, alongside For Every Hour, Color and Retro Combat Sounds.
The band played their third gig with the new lineup in February 2007 supporting Philantrophy at St George's University of London Student Union Bar.
A Borderline Mixtape is currently recording new songs as well as remastering old ones (recorded in January 2006) over a number of sessions with Jason Emberton at The Music Lounge @ Westbourne Rehearsal Studios. Each song will be released once they are completed.
