Mark "Radar" Watson MAINLINE CD REVIEW Blues online by Mark "Radar" Watson August 2002 Mainline is a Sydney blues rock outfit and good to see a good set of strong originals with interesting lyrics and solid grooves rather than a swag of covers. They appeal to me as a band whom i would like to hear more of as they develop as i'm sure they have the potential to inject some freshness into the Australian Blues Rock seen. Judging by the strength of "One way ticket" which has one of those hop on your harley and cruise down the highway grooves that chugs along in your headspace and takes control. "What am i doin here" stands out with its John Lee Hookerish intro and laid back groove combined with strong sultry vocals and crisp clean guitar licks. It is a track which ii believe is indicative of the bands potential should they continue writing and performing in the blues rock vein. Its worth hitting the band up for a copy of there cd at there gigs.

Garry Dalton Cd Review While there appears to be a healthy amount of bands around at the moment with similar sounds,one act has emerged with a diffrent slant on the blues genre. There recorded songs is a all original. If your after a cd with a difference try there cd its well worth a listen. Garry Dalton 3 WAY FM WARRANBOOL VIC october 2003

Geoff Pegler Got your Mainline cd today, thank you very much, oh so sweet the cd that is!. I love every track and just love that full tone. You guys and Crippsy have done a really good job on this one. If i had to pick my favorites would be tracks One way ticket, What am i doin here, Doctor love, What you been doin, Different and downhearted. Look there all great and ive marked them all to be played on bluesbeat, see separate email playlist. Use all sound great. Sounds like the band is very comfortable with each other. Anyway i'll give it a good go on Bluesbeat. Thanks Mainline you should be proud of your disc. I get to listen to several hundred new blues discs each year (mostly from US) and yours is up there with the best of them. Thanks again regards Geoff.

Gary De Wall PRESIDENT SYDNEY BLUES SOCIETY Gary De Wall Mainline Through the motins cd review Well here's the debut cd from this hard working NSW band and they are certainly doing more than just going "through the motions". These guys have what i would describe as the "Aussie blues rock sond", and they do it very well. Vocalist Joyce Bugeja has a powerful blues rock voice which is equally at home with the big rocky numbers and the quieter bluesy numbers. When i first saw the band i couldn't believe such a big voice came from such a small lady. Guitarist Troy Camilleri is a fine picker,and plays a few variety of styles throught the album. Groovy rythyms,funky waa waa and picking thats sweat and clean or distorted, screaming or ballsy to suit the various songs. Very nice playing indeed. The rhythm section consisting of Greg Healy (drums) and Guy Chizzonite (bass) lay down a solid and entertaining base for Troy and Joyce without being to load or overbearing.For most part they seem happy to sit back in the mix a bit and support the songs. The whole shooting match was supported nicely by Jeff Cripps at A#studios. Greg told me the guys were very proud of there cd and should be. The 14 tracks were all written by band members(5 Greg,4 Joyce,4 Troy,1 Guy) and they are a good bunch of songs. The band really rocks out on numbers like the big powerhouse boogie Downhearted,the up tempo texas shuffle Last a long time, and the Chuck Berry like rocker Through The Motions, but i reckon Joyces voice and Troys guitar are really showcased by the slower nubers like the slow texas shuffle Sad n Blue (with joyce in Bonnie Raitt mode), and the big slow blues of Bad Feelin Blues. So if you like your blues cd with a heavy dose of blues rock you'll like this cd. You can pick them up at gigs or contact band online.
