The Silver Lines – Roaches (Official Music Video): Birmingham’s Alt-Rock outfit The Silver Lines are back with their highly anticipated second EP, ‘…And The Lord Don’t Think I Can Handle It’. Known for their explosive sound and expressive spoken word vocals, the band doesn’t disappoint with this new release.
The EP, produced by David Radahd-Jones (ex-Heaven’s Basement), is a four-track showcase of raw energy and authenticity, capturing exactly what makes this quartet stand out. Packed with bold instrumentation and unrelenting intensity, this EP is some of their most daring and exciting work yet, cementing The Silver Lines’ place as a force to be reckoned with in the alt-rock scene.
Talking about their upcoming EP, the band explain:
“The Silver Lines second EP titled: ‘…And The Lord Don’t Think I Can Handle It’, is the perfect representation of TSL as a live band, it’s just as angsty and provocative as their previous records but this time more thought provoking. The lyrics still have the characteristic TSL venom only this time addressing the ‘rock star lifestyle’ but are they promoting it or offering a warning?
The songs as a whole follow a more clearer narrative of the endless cycle everyone seems to go through from strange times to reminiscing of those sweeter softer places. The polarising cover is a deliberate shun of today’s music climate. With thousands of songs being released each day, every artist begging people to listen and sneaky methods employed to try and chart an album through the use of multiple formats of release, deluxe editions and even different vinyl colours.
The Silver Lines felt there was a level of shamelessness and exploitation in the current landscape. If people want to listen they will but if they don’t – it’s their choice. Either way The Silver Lines won’t stop releasing music that is honest and personal to themselves. Oh and there won’t be 17 editions of each release the public must buy, well anyway not just yet…”
