Lines of Loyalty is a regional band that I stumbled onto after seeing them at a recent show opening for Sevendust and Static-X in Clive, Iowa. They're a three-piece band that hasn't been around for very long, but they've developed a small, loyal following. I think they're meant for great things.
The group was originally known as Mixed Company. They've been using the Lines of Loyalty moniker since 2021. The current lineup consists of drummer/percussionist Shane Madsen, bassist/keyboardist Redo Ianni, and singer/guitarist Nubz Morrison. Morrison has been quoted as having said that the concept of loyalty is essential, after having been burned by people in the past. Lines of Loyalty calls Kenosha, Wisconsin home.
Lines of Loyalty worked with my friend Chris Dawson (former Seasons After rhythm guitarist) in writing and recording songs for their full-length album Hurts to be Human, which was released earlier this year. The title track and singles such as "I'm Not the One" and "My Addiction" are well worth checking out. They have good onstage energy for a three-piece band and it's easy to see that they feed off of crowd interaction. I highly recommend checking them out if they're playing in your area. Maybe we'll get to see them again when the next leg of the Sevendust/Static-X tour kicks off in February.
Well, that's all for now. Next time, I'll write about Wolfgang Van Halen's band Mammoth WVH, who I just saw live in concert at First Avenue in downtown Minneapolis a few weeks back. Until then, have a great week, everyone!
