Northlane are a 5 piece metal outfit based in Sydney NSW who have been writing music and touring with a strong work ethic all over the country since mid 2009.
After a number of early member changes, Northlane put together their current lineup in July 2010 before setting out on their Anchors and Hopes tour of the eastern states. Since finalising their lineup, Northlane has travelled all over the country playing tracks from their debut E.P. Hollow Existence, which was self released by the band in January 2010, and songs from their upcoming album Discoveries which is planned to be released midway through 2011.
Northlane have received an extremely positive reception following the release of Hollow Existence less than a year after forming as a band. The debut C.D. has received acclaim from a number of different websites all over the world including the Australian website Kill Your Stereo who reviewed the C.D. with a very positive 80/100, claiming that Hollow Existence is of an admirable and mature standard, a vital quality that is rapidly becoming extinct in most up-and-coming Australian bands.
Northlane have also recently been featured numerous times in a number of magazines including Australia's leading alternative music magazine Blunt. They have been given promising reviews by Blunt and were recently named as one of the bands to hype in 2011 where they were described as an ever-present force to be reckoned with in Australian music that are planning to take the country hostage in has already started with a bang for Northlane who have stretched their popularity not only from their home state but to all corners of the country. Within the first month of the New Year they have already played to crowds Victoria, New South Wales and Perth. It should be noted that Northlane have done all of the above on a completely DIY basis, to this day they are label independent, self-managed, self-funded and self-booked.
