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.

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. |
