The Northern Line - "Throw a Fist"

When we brought you the debut single from The Northern Line back in October, it kind of felt like it was custom made for me. As someone who spent the 90's heavily into the Boston music scene and Britpop, it was great to hear a Boston band bringing back that classic Britpop sound. Now the "Mass.-chester" band are back with "Throw a Fist." If it wasn't for the lack of a British accent, you'd swear this new song was a lost, unreleased track from a forgotten 90's Britpop band. This is a great single, and The Northern Line will transport you three decades back in time while updating the sound just enough.

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

“‘Throw a Fist’ is a personal song, but it is also a song that connects with anyone who has done the hard work to move on after a meaningful relationship falls apart. The liberation, the freedom of the ‘fist’ that’s thrown – mostly metaphorically – is throwing away the pain, the failed dream, and embracing the future.”

You can listen to "Throw a Fist" below. For more on The Northern Line, check out the band's website. They're playing a release show tonight (April 11) at Fireseed Arts in Framingham with The Chelsea Curve and Britpop Social Club.
