Waterlines Head Out On UK Tour This Week (19th - 23rd April)
Yorkshire metalcore upstarts Waterlines have successfully relaunched themselves over the last six months, transitioning from their former life as Sertraline. With the Waterlines name now firmly established thanks to their monster singles KÖNIG and The Halo Around The Horns, Waterlines are hitting the road for their first full tour since the relaunch of the band.
Having recently received rave reviews for their special guest slot with Seething Akira and Crushed By Waves, Waterlines can be found across England and Wales for five shows next week. Kicking off at one of the UK's most legendary smaller venues, The Hairy Dog in Derby, the tour also takes in Bristol, Nottingham and Sheffield before finishing up in Wolverhampton. Support on the tour comes from Lost In Lavender Town, Clashmute and Archives (Archives appear in Derby and Nottingham only). The full list of shows, as well as the tour poster, follows below.

The song is a very personal one to Waterlines, and to frontman Ben in particular, who we will hand over to, to tell the story of KÖNIG:
"Lyrically, KÖNIG is the product of me wanting to tell a story for a close friend of mine.
Many people will know what it's like to watch someone drown from outside the box and just want to scream at them to run the other way.
This song is about recognising your worth and treating yourself like the King (or Queen!) you are.
Musically, yeah, we wanted to push it just a little bit more... There's a lot of influences in the band, from every corner of the musicverse and we wanted to push the boat out and write music we want to listen to. KÖNIG is what happens when we all come together with a view to do something fucking stupid. I think it works..."
KÖNIG is also available to stream on your music streaming platform of choice on this link.
In addition to the upcoming tour, Waterlines will headline the SummerSlammer Festival at Rebellion in Manchester on the 15th Of July. Tickets for SummerSlammer, an all day festival featuring over a dozen other bands, are available now.
