The third single from Midlands five-piece The Red Line is an emotional rock ballad, where singer Jamie sings that he is “holding on to something, I can’t have, that I can’t grasp.” We’ve all been there; we’ve all felt that way. The song opens with a guitar solo, before the lead singer’s distinctive vocals kick in, building to a catchy solid track that will get you singing along with the refrain during the first listen. Its gritty, its grungy. It feels like the 90s, but it also feels like now.
Building on the success of the 2 previous releases, “Holding On” is honest and raw, but also melodic. Their sound is organic and completely their own, you don’t feel like you are listening to a wannabe band, but a band that knows how they want to sound and they are absolutely smashing it.
Fans of Keo, Wunderhorse and Pixies should definitely give this a listen.
This is a band that is one to watch, you know you want to say you were there at the start!
The Red Line have been featured on BBC Introducing twice and tipped for success by Dean Jackson.
They will be performing at Mist Rolling Inn on Friday 13th February (for those who aren’t superstitious). The Victoria Inn Derby Thursday 12th March
