About Me

B IOGRAPHY T he conflicting influences of Between the Lines are constantly pitted against each other amidst the songwriting process and are ultimately forced together to create an epic infusion of powerful, anthemic songs with rhythmically diverse melodic riffs and song structures that demonstrate unique technical prowess. Between the Lines aim for a distinct sound with wide appeal: those looking for a simple melody with catchy hooks will find what they desire without effort, however, those who listen closely will discover winding guitar lines that skip through keys and inventive drum beats that transition seamlessly across time signitures.
"Think power, think charm. Great live act with tons of stage presence, these guys Rock! Definately a force to watch out for. Between the Lines can only go up"
Live and Loud - Guildford
"Great sound, Singer has an awesome voice, Keep writing!"
Danielle - Roadrunner Records
"BETWEEN THE LINES (Basingstoke's new secret weapon)"
Shawn - Melonheadz Promotion
"They were truely fired up for this one and had a lot of people in their corner, in fact I'd say most of the crowd was there for them I think. You could tell when fans and friends at the end of their set swamped the stage. It's probably worth promoters in the town putting these guys on again as they did a great job of hyping the crowd up and larking around on stage, good looking chaps too."
Jo Thompson - Basingstoke Observer
