WATERLINES were born from former band Sertraline in November 2022. Vocalist Benji Mars said:

"When I started with the band in March 2022, we knew we wanted to explore a different direction and find our horizon. I guess at the time we didn’t really understand what that meant, but when “Halo Around the Horns” was born and we started to tweak it, we knew this wasn’t Sertraline anymore. We explored our options and had more than a few conversations about how we felt, but when we played it live, we knew there and then that what was Sertraline, would become WATERLINES."

WATERLINES have wasted no time in making their mark on the music scene with a number of brand new single releases: Halo Around the Horns, KÖNIG, Prey and Anti Human, a 100% moshpit success rate to date, and prior to the name change, featured at festivals including Takeover at Download Festival, TechFest and Radar.

In August 2023 they headlined the Jagermeister Stage at Bloodstock Festival to riotous acclaim. A jam packed tent and heaving bodies resulting in a bent King pole, and with punters and journalists writing about their set being stand out and amongst their favourite of the whole weekend.
 
As they look to the future, WATERLINES have their sights set on bigger things. They are gearing up for lots more live appearances in 2024 and are writing and recording songs for their debut EP.
