Scottish indie rock /alt band The Lines have unveiled their new single “Pete The Punter“.
The song, recorded and produced by Roddy McIlwraith is out now. Grab it here.
The Lines are a post-Brexit, alt-indie sensation who write music for those who don’t, nor want to improve themselves and flirt with unresolved expectations. Following the basic tenants of indie rock, but with unique aspects of their wide range of influences interwoven, this manifests as rhythmic beats, funk, and more traditional rock solos.
“In every live performance we hope to demonstrate to, and include the audience in, our chemistry as a band and as friends. With our passion: driving rhythms, melodic chords, and unique energy, are certain to pull any fan to the front of the barrier! The band shares.
Previous singles ‘Heart Soup’, ‘Wah Wah Lightning’ and ‘Ephitet’ have been influential in building a platform for the band. All 3 releases received favourable feedback and reached a global radio audience. However, their most recent release, ‘Lips,‘ was their most played radio single to date, showing their rapid rise to success.
Of the new single, they say:
“Pete The Punter is more than a song. It’s an archetype. Pete is an inter-continental, omni-cultural fact of life. In an ode to hospitality staff across the globe, this song tells the tale of the typical regular. The one who drinks too long, spends too much money on the slots and makes terrible attempts to “compliment” women, often resulting in his removal from the bar. For all the ways this song was made from our Scottish experience, it rings true for every underpaid bar worker”.
