Imagine Saves the Day mixed with Tigers Jaw and Transit; Long Island’s State Lines sound like a smooth Indie/Punk blend of the three, but also with their own kick. Formed in 2010, their raw, rustic turns and sharp edges combined with the raspy vocals of singer/songwriter Jonathan Dimitri keep them on the frontlines of today’s LI scene. They even dress for the part, hoodies and all! They just recently released their sophomore full-length album titled “For The Boats” via Tiny Engines. You can listen to "Linger below" and three other new songs from the album here, and see them live at NYU’s Strawberry Festival this Friday May 10 with Mission of Burma. – Michael Haskoor (@Tweetskoor)
