The REDLINERS are a power trio from Tampa/St. Pete in West Florida. Their debut, “The Mud, the Blood, & the Beer” has enjoyed much success, and their newest release, “When it Rocks it Rolls,” fully satisfies as a follow-up full length album. "When it Rocks it Rolls" includes the anthemic, “American Boy,” barnburners like “Born Cheater” and "Warden's Daughter," and a rendition of “Summertime Blues” that breathes new life into an old song in a way that would make the architect, Eddie Cochran, nod his head in approval. (Big in Japan!) Instinctively satisfying! 

The Redliners were formed in 2005, playing one of their first shows as openers for seminal UK punk pioneers, The Vibrators. Later that year they released the EP “The Mud, the Blood, & the Beer,” which included their barroom anthem “Jack & Coke.”
In late 2007 the Redliners released their first full-length album, “When it Rocks… it Rolls.” 2008 through 2009 included opening dates for Guttermouth, Valient Thorr, the Queers, Green Day, and opened on multiple dates for the Independents, Joe Buck (of Hank III infamy), and the Legendary Shack Shakers. In late 2009 the Redliners completed a winter tour with the Koffin Kats.

* Live review of 12.5.09 @ the Tin Roof, Charleston, SC w/ the Defilers, REDLINERS, and Koffin Kats:

"I was at this show. It was ****ing GREAT! The Koffin Kats were excellent, BUT IT WAS THE REDLINERS WHO STOLE THE SHOW!
I go to a lot of shows and I truly believe that they are on their way to making it BIG!This was the 2nd of three nights that I saw them while they were on tour supporting the Koffin Kats. The Redliners were on day eight of nine of their leg of the tour according to their merch guy who ironically was from Michigan. The structure of the songs and lyrics are perfectly complimentary to one another, supported by thumping, blazing bass, and rounded out by spectacular, driving drums. Every song was perfectly constructed for an amazingly entertaining 40 or so minutes.
Everything about The Redliners screamed professionalism, from onstage performance, down to the merchandise and even merch set-up. The t-shirt designs were sweet, with four styles to choose from, two C D's available, (Of which I bought both) with another on the way this spring, stickers, e-mail list, etc.. And to top it off, pricing that is a steal for all that your get! (Mix-and-match any merch item for $20!)
All three members of the band were more than accommodating to all the people wanting to talk to them after the show (of which there were MANY) and very humble to boot. These guys know what it takes to give us audience members a great show; great music, hard work, sacrifice and dedication. The Redliners definitely don't disappoint!
If you have not had the privilege of seeing The Redliners in person, do so NOW, because I truly believe if you wait too much longer you wont be able to get in to see them!

* CD REVIEW:
Redliners “When It Rocks… It Rolls”

"Gotta love a band that hand delivers their new CD to your front door! “When It Rocks…It Rolls” is the second release from Redliners; a Tampa based punk/rockabilly trio. This release features the work of Justin Kincaid (guitars/vocals), Brian Breseman (bass/vocals) and Brian Coburn (drums). Brian Coburn has since left the band and I hear the new drummer is something to be reckoned with. I look forward to catching a live performance so I can see/hear for myself. As I am familiar with their first EP, "The Mud, the Blood and the Beer" I can say I was able to hear growth musically and lyrically and that is what we typically hope for with a sophomore release.

Maybe I am getting old, but I tended to like the rockabilly songs more than the punk. Could just be that need to dance, move and shake it that I have inside me. That being said, let me tell you the opening track, “Redliners In The Sky” made me feel as if I were watching the credits in the beginning of a Western I really wanted to see. It just felt good. Absolutely love “Born Cheater”; classic rockabilly from vocals to bass and guitar. When I say classic, I clearly do not mean done a million times previously, as this band is truly an original. How many punk bands have used a glockenspiel in a recording? Yup, they do. Justin wanted something to symbolize wedding bells during an intro/fade and local genius Steve Connelly (producer/engineer) added it. “The Shakes” is another noteworthy tune. I have to tell you that one of the best lines I have ever heard in my life is in “American Boy”……”if miles were cigarettes, I’m 10 packs from home.” That is just f**king brilliant. On that note, check them out at www.myspace.com/redliners."

Redliners “When It Rocks… It Rolls”

"A few weeks ago I posted a piece that chastised the local music scene for being arrogant and lazy. Almost immediately, The Redliners dropped me an email proclaiming that they weren’t lazy and wanted to send a cd my way. I accepted their offer and now, weeks later (edit: now months), I have yet to post about the album. They totally should post a myspace blog entry about the laziness of ninebullets. I deserve it. The Redliners are a Tampa based punk/rockabilly outfit consisting of Justin Kincaid (guitar/vox), Brian Breseman (bass/vox) and Brian Coburn (drums). I’ll admit, my knowledge of the rockabilly scene probably begins and ends with the Stray Cats, so I’m gonna try and describe these guys in terms I know. They sound like a younger, less political Dead Kennedys mixed with Mike Ness’ solo efforts. Sometimes the album lacks maturity, and they probably could have spent a little more time writing some of their lyrics, but all in all it is a fine effort and I’d imagine they are a great band to see live…next time they are in St. Pete I’m gonna have to go see them.

Redliners "The Mud, the Blood, & the Beer"

"Redliners for real--Worth the investment"

author: Brian Hooper
"Finally music with no bubble gum wrapper required. Redliners seamlessly mix powerful beats and rhythms with smooth Johnny Cash reminiscent vocals. This is one that you will not be embarrassed to introduce to your friends. The CD will find its way into your player and you will not want it to come out. Definitely worth the investment."

"Bad to the bone, No BS Rockn Punk Buy it!"

author: J. Cameron Simmons
"The unique blend of this band's sound is so refreshing. If you want rock n roll that has real grit and emotion, this is the band for you. Are you tired of the same old whining punk and ready to pop in a mans Punk/RocknRoll Cd? Then you just have one choice THE REDLINERS."
