Biography
THEY WALK IN LINE formed in May 2001 under the moniker Gravity. The original idea was to bring four like-minded musicians into a collective writing project. At the outset, there were no intentions of building a band atmosphere, but nature took its course. After recording demos in the summer of 2001, the boys decided to move forward as a performance quartet releasing the The Gravity EP in early 2003. Radio took an immediate liking to the material helping the initial offering to achieve the 7th spot on the album specialty charts and Pension for Fairfax as a top 25 single. This was the beginning.
After spending most of 2002 and 2003 sharpening their live show and touring the Southwest, TWIL began working on material that would later become the All Mine E.P. The EP released in January of 2004, dropped as the number 2 album @ specialty while All Mine cracked the top 10 in the singles chart. This revival of attention brought along with it courtship from indie and major labels, but the band never settled on which way to go. This brings us to the present.
THEY WALK IN LINE has completed work on its latest offering, Medical Necessities. TWIL's first full-length, the record offers 10 new songs produced and recorded in collaboration with Hot Pie Music. Hot Pie's contributions from Jerry DiRienzo (Cell, Ugly Beauty, Lotusland) and Mark Lewis (Idaho, West Indian Girl) helped TWIL craft a sonically structured approach reminiscent of Sonic Youth and Echo & The Bunnymen. The group has signed with Rock Ridge/Sixthman/ADA for the new offering and plans to release the record in February, 2005.
