Bio
A decade after forming, Maine’s Borderlines finally released a full-length record in 2023 that one review called “a four-chord pop punk ripper with hopeful harmonies and melancholic ethos.” “Keep Pretending,” a 29-minute blast, is equal parts existential dread and longing for love. Borderlines formed in 2012 by members of The Leftovers. Their sound is rooted in 90’s punk and pop-punk such as early Green Day and other Lookout! bands, mixed with more recent melodic punk and alternative acts like The Menzingers and Jimmy Eat World. The band spent the spring of 2024 back in the studio, with a new EP in the works.
