Votes: 10 Log in to vote.

slowline are a three-piece band based in London featuring individuals
hailing from both sides of the Atlantic. New York raised Niall is on guitar/vocals, with the UK contingent, energetic brash beat connoisseur Dave on drums and punk/funk bassist Justin ensuring slowline's influences are spread out across borders and the years.

With the current line-up forming in September 2005 the band has recently appeared on the London scene with shows at venues such as the Bull and Gate, Hope and Anchor and a recent headline spot at the Dublin Castle. Releasing a four song demo EP at the end of last year to showcase just a small part of their work, the band manage to follow their own path with music that combines melodic precision whilst cruising towards climatic chaos.

slowline ensnare the economy of drums, bass and guitar whilst ensuring nobody has any place to hide. The band have done another batch of songs in March which compiled their second demo EP and they also have more London shows on the horizon.
