About The Electric Mainline

The Electric Mainline are a musical collective based in London. The band's sound falls somewhere between shoegaze, punk and psychedelia. This is music for kids with their eyes rolled back in their heads and their heads in the clouds. The 1st official TEM release came courtesy of Northern Star Records' Psychedelica series with an appearance alongside The Black Angels, Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Hiss and The Telescopes. This was followed by the self-released 6 track 'All Too Much' EP. Since then the band have gone on to appear on numerous compilations all over the world. The band have been picked up by Strummerville, appeared alongside A Place To Bury Strangers on a US compilation and have featured on 2 cover mount cds of a popular Russian music magazine which introduced the band to over 80,000 households in Mother Russia The Electric Mainline have shared the stage with The Nova Saints, Youngteam and The Greencoats and have been on tour in Germany with The Lost Rivers. 2013 saw a new line-up release a brand new single which was subsequently remixed by Deep Cut (featuring ex-members of Death In Vegas and Revolver) and Punk TV, and make an appearance on Psychedelica 5, both of which were released on the legendary Northern Star imprint. The band also supported The Telescopes at the Northern Star Weekender The Electric Mainline are back with Northern Star for their next single, a split 7inch with Welsh psychedelicists, Soundwire. They also appear on the label's forthcoming live compilation album 'Live Revolution' recorded live and performed to a sell-out crowd at the 2013 Northern Star Weekender.
