So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?
The band name is Blood Line and we’re all from Melbourne. I, Tommy Elm, got stuck playing bass.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like?
We actually love asking people. It’s groovy, yet so fucking heavy. What we want the sound of our music to do is make people who are not even into metal, walk into the room and have no choice but to bob (read: bang) their head and go “this is fuckin’ cool.”
What do you love about making music?
Our band is a team, we’re all bros and it just feels fucking rad to get on stage with our squad and see how crazy we can go and try to make people move.
What do you hate about the music industry?
How cliques grow in the metal industry. One of the reasons we’ve got two hardcore and two metal bands booked is to keep this sub-community together and not separated into this us vs. them bullshit.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
We release our EP, Beyond the Pale in 2014, we’re really proud of it so please come grab a copy. Buy us a beer and we’ll probably give you a free one.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Us in the crowd. Massive riffs. Shane is a crazy bearded vocalist, expect the sweat.
Catch BLOOD LINE at The Brunswick Hotel this Thursday January 29 with Atlantic, Arcadian and Behold The Defiant.
