About Linebeck

Download bios

“Era-spanning dream-pop” from Hamilton ON. Once described as a "dreamy version of Linkin Park", Linebeck aims to find the push-and-pull between happy vivacity & nostalgic melancholy. Formed one month before the world stopped, Linebeck spent their first years as a band writing and workshopping songs remotely. Their debut single “Bed” was released on June 24, 2022 – reaching over 10,000 Spotify streams and bringing in over 800 new listeners within 4 weeks of its release.

Sonically, Linebeck draws inspiration from shoegaze, dream-pop, and post-punk bands; yet melodically and structurally leans heavily on pop-driven motifs. Heavily influenced by songwriting geniuses Lennon-McCartney and pop powerhouse Max Martin, Linebeck’s songwriting is full of intention but not lacking in honesty.

Press

"Lush and tuneful from beginning to end" - darkeninheart on "Bed"

"Bright, uplifting indie-pop stunner" - Mystic Sons New Music Discovery (July 1, 2022)

"Era-spanning dream pop, warmly capturing love's simplicities & completeness" - Earshot Digital Distro's "Song of the Day" (July 1, 2022)

"Really enjoying this one, and pumped to hear more" - Kristin Archer on "Bed" (I Heart Hamilton July Playlist)

Catchy and convincing, there’s evidence of 90s influences like Natalie Merchant and Dolores O’Riordan. With indie sensibility there’s also evidence of Mitski and Japanese Breakfast.
