Lines is an Australian indie rock outfit hailing from the Perth and Northam regions of Western Australia. Formed around the core duo of Corey Marriott and Andrew Clarke (formerly of The Novocaines), the band represents a shift from raw garage blues toward a more melodic, jangly indie-pop aesthetic.
Their sound is deeply rooted in the 'Dunedin Sound' and the Australian coastal indie tradition, characterized by clean electric guitars, prominent melodic basslines, and a relaxed, almost nonchalant vocal delivery. Despite being often confused with various international acts sharing the same name, this iteration of Lines is defined by its specific West Australian geography and a DIY ethos. Their discography, notably the 2017 releases 'Weekends' and 'You', showcases a knack for catchy hooks and storytelling that avoids artifice. Critically, they are viewed as part of the mid-2010s resurgence of 'slacker rock' but with a more earnest, pop-oriented heart that distinguishes them from more cynical contemporaries.
