Release Text:
Introducing Redline, a convergence of heavy hitters from across the American landscape. Spearheaded by Marko Karacic, a veteran of Chicago’s hardcore scene through his tenure with Blindside in the ’90s, Redline has emerged as a powerhouse unit melding diverse influences and experiences.

The band’s lineup draws its talent from the likes of 2Minute Minor (hailing from the heart of Chicago), the raw energy of Life Force & Vanguard from Texas, the visceral intensity of ZAO representing West Virginia, and the resounding impact of Tuning and Discourage out of California. Each member brings their unique style and ethos, converging into a relentless force that encapsulates the best of hardcore.

Redline’s sound is a testament to their collective journey, crafting a unique brand of heavy, unapologetic Straight Edge Hardcore that resonates with raw power and unyielding conviction.

On their debut EP ‘Tongue Tied’, Redline’s sonic assault embodies a spirit of unity, strength, and unwavering determination. Brace yourself for Redline, poised to leave an indelible mark on the hardcore landscape. Brace yourself for the edge.
