Waterlines' debut year as a band could not have gone any better; From tearing it up at Bloodstock to their first four singles all being equally well received, the Yorkshire / Manchester four piece have had a year to remember.
Always looking to mix things up and to entertain, Waterlines present their antidote to December's annual onslaught of Christmas music and Christmas covers - a dance metal cover mashup of two club classics! They've taken Ultrabeat's epic Pretty Green Eyes, given it a metal makeover, and then merged part of another Ultrabeat favourite Elysium onto the end for good measure. If you ever wanted a modern metal club night floor filler, one has just dropped at your feet.
Check out the video for Pretty Green Eyes // Elysium, which offers a 12 hour glimpse into the world of Waterlines, filmed at Reading Rising last month, right here:
Waterlines frontman Ben Mars explains what was behind their new creation:
"We started to notice that when I was sound checking Britney and Backstreet Boys at our live shows people were really into it. Plus we've seen so many Spotify Unwrapped of heavy music fans who also have a sneaky Ariana Grande or Jessie Ware in there. We thought, why should people have to go elsewhere to get their pop fix? Come to Waterlines, we’ll happily sing noughties bangers and then drop a breakdown on you, all in a convenient three and a half minute package. You’re welcome, you cheeky sausages. WDGAF!"
Pretty Green Eyes // Elysium is available exclusively on YouTube until the 21st of December, when it will also be available at Spotify and all other streaming platforms. You can pre-save it using this link.
Waterlines last live show for 2023 takes place on Saturday 9th December in London, supporting Chuggaboom alongside Defences at Downstairs At The Dome in Tufnell Park.
Their first live shows for 2024 will be in February, supporting October Ends and Cabin Boy Jumped Ship on the northern leg of their co-headline tour. Dates are as follows:
15th - Glasgow - The Garage Attic
16th - Newcastle - Head Of Steam
17th - Leeds - Santiagos
18th - Manchester - Satans Hollow
