BLACK Country rockers The Lines are hoping their debut single will strike a chord with fans after a series of sold-out shows.

The indie band are on a high after packing Wolverhampton's Wulfrun Hall with 1,200 supporters for a major headline show and getting Radio One airplay after attracting the attention of DJ Steve Lamacq.

The group, which features singer Alex Ohm, guitarist Dean Bate, Chris Titley on bass and Stourbridge drummer Ryan Edwards, have a busy month ahead touring the UK.

Shows in towns as far apart as Newcastle and London will be followed by a nationwide tour throughout March supporting Sheffield's latest indie popsters Little Man Tate.

The Lines' live sound and melodies have caused comparisons with top acts including The Verve although with influences including Radiohead and The Rapture they say their mix stands alone.

Their new single, Domino Effect' was released on Weekender Records on February 25.
