Six songs from Thin White Line to start thr new year..

New Years Mix

Glass Houses

Favorite Part Demo

this song is from Dock of the Bus Stop, our first release. Most of our songs were pretty serious, but we did have a fun side.    

01 Pink Dots From Mars

Bob wrote this song about the infamous female punk band Dress Up as Natives. It's always been a favorite and loads of fun to play. These folks in the picture celebrate the spirit of that great band.

02 Gentlemen Prefer Natives ()Long silence at start

We recorded this at Duquesne University, they had recently added a sound design major. We were Brian Cobb's class project. The songs came out well, and were the backbone of the Something Invincible release.

Magnet of Bad Luck

Towers Open Fire is a song that grabs me just as hard today as it did the first time I heard it. No recording does it justice, and there was nothing like witnessing this song live as Robert Porter poured his entire body and soul into it. RIP Mr. Porter. We'll take it from here.

Dock of the Bus Stop

Towers Open Fire

This is a live version we recorded ourselves. A version made it onto our first release. This is the entire unedited version.

Live From the Chesterfield

Smokestack Lightning (LIve)

This is a song that never made too many releases. We recorded this when Jeff Flaherty was in the band on guitar, and Toby Houser on bass. It was done at the Granati Brothers Studio in Coraopolis, Pa. The Granati's are a musical dynasty dating back several generations. They toured with various famous rock bands, and working there was a pleasure. The best compliment we ever had was when Dave Granati called us Lifers. As in we would play music until the end of our days.

Nobody Knows But I

This song was originally released on the Welfare Dub Cassette. It is the title track of the remastered EP on iTunes and Amazon under the band name Thin White Line. With the opening lines, "Love and emotion begone. History repeats itself if we wait to long..." it's as pertinent now as it was 20 years ago. Another great Robert Porter song.

The Welfare Dub

Superman and That Girl

This is a digitally polished version of a song from an earlier release now available as part of the Superman and That girl EP on Amazon and iTunes. It is the hottest track from the 90's and I would put it up against classics like Ace of Spades, Sonic Reducer or Anything by the New York Dolls. I love all those songs, but I think this is just as good. So pop on some headphones, buckle up and prepare for the 100 mile an hour propulsion of Thrilling Cities.
