...according to our Phil on 16 April 2009.

Lowline are well Manchester. I can't think of a more Manchester sounding band from recent times (possibly Twisted Wheel). It's got a sub New Order bassline running through it and the guitars are ever so slightly Pil-esque. It's not complete toss but the guys vocals are slightly irritating. That level of irratating is somewhere in between standing in dog shit and standing in a long shopping market queue. It could be much worse....
very bombastic sounding indie rock which comes off sounding more like The Alarm or some other 80's stadium rock rather than the cool end of new wave it's quite obviously nicking from. Gun In My Side is 7" only

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

· A razor sharp anthem from Lowline, the band touted as “arguably the most exciting new band
to have emerged from Manchester in recent times” (The Guardian).
· ‘Gun In My Side’ is a timeless indie anthem, the first yield from Lowline’s youthful and
uplifting brand of rock and roll to be taken from their Autumn 2009 debut album.
· It combines addictive melodies, compulsive rhythms and an unforgettable chorus to
create a thoroughly significant record, reinforcing The Verve guitarist Nick McCabe’s
opinion that Lowline make “timeless music like no-one else can at the moment”.
· The release follows ‘Monitors,’ & ‘Sound of Music’ the breakthrough releases which grabbed the
eye of DJ’s, journalists and audiences alike, as the band found themselves on the playlists of
Zane Lowe, Colin Murray, Huw Stevens and Jon Kennedy whilst featuring on the pages
of NME, The Sun and The Guardian.
· Owen Morris (Oasis, New Order, The Verve) once again produces a remarkable and razor
sharp record that brims with energy and promise. This mammoth anthem is supported with
a club remix from London based electro newcomers Joe & Will Ask. Recent releases
and remixes on French hipster imprint Kitsune have seen these two exciting young
producers build a reputation for crafting dancefloor smashes.
