This track was heavily inspired by Johnny Marr and the Smiths. I had just finished reading 'Marr's Guitars' and had also bought a new guitar - enjoy!

Julian Lines is a Guitarist / Songwriter from St Albans, UK.
He has been writing, producing and recording music for over 30 years and has formed and played guitar in several bands. 
Julian has been influenced by many bands over the years, he was heavily influenced by punk bands such as The Clash, The Buzzcocks, The Damned, SLF etc then a bit later post punk bands like The Icicle Works, The Psychedelic Furs, Blondie, Joy Divison and the great guitar sound of Johnny Marr and the Smiths. Not forgetting The Edge and U2.
His next major influence was the plethora of great 90’s bands such as Radiohead, The Stone Roses, The Charlatans, Oasis, Blur, Supergrass and New Order etc.  After that bands such as Editors, White Lies and The National also played their part in Julian’s song writing.  More recently bands such as Daughter, alt-J and Slowdive. 
So Julian’s sound has been crafted over many years but the sound is unmistakably Post punk, the tracks built around soaring guitar riffs.
