The Northern Line - "Lightning Strikes"

Photo by Harrison Searle

Seeing as I spent much of the 90's obsessed with Britpop and the Boston music scene, a band like The Northern Line seems like they formed just for me. The Boston band is made up of members of Strangeways, The Daily Pravda, The Luxury, and Looking Glass War, and just released their debut single. "Lightning Strikes" is heavily Britpop influenced, along with mod and modern alternative. The song doesn't quite sound like the Britpop megastars you normally associate with the sound. There is some Oasis, but "Lightning Strikes" sounds more like Ocean Colour Scene and Primal Sound. Of course, this is a Boston band so there is some grit along with garage rock/indie rock noise. The Northern Line is the type of band that would have taken over my twenties if they had existed way back then.

Bilvox (guitar and vocals) says of his band's single:

“‘Lightning Strikes’ is about moving past the struggle of life, the banality, the brow-beating of it all, and ‘When the lightning strikes..’ in your life, for that moment, you feel that joy. It’s about embracing those moments and living out loud. Buggering through the tricky bits of life and when the good things come to you, embrace them and celebrate them.” 

You can listen to "Lightning Strikes" below. For more on The Northern Line, check out the band's website.

  1. FAST AND EFFECIENT ASSET RECOVERY -SYNACK TECH
    You really need to be careful of the risk involved in the world of cryptocurrency and investments. I was naive enough to believe I could make huge returns from my cryptocurrency investments without doing proper research about it. I lost $543,000 worth of USDT and BTC in a failed cryptocurrency investment scheme. Luckily for me, I was able to reach out to a reputable cryptocurrency recovery company that goes by the name Synack Tech and was able to successfully recover all the money I had invested into the scheme. {{{s y n a c k h a c k @ t e c h | - | c e n t e r | d o t | c o m }}} I’m forever grateful to the services of Synack Tech and this message is a recommendation to everyone who intends to recover lost digital assets of any kind.
