The Lifeline


HQ: Chicago, IL
NOW PLAYING: For All Who Triumph

THE STORY SO FAR: Not enough rock stories begin with a violin. Fortunately, this one does. The first incarnation of the Lifeline was an acoustic collaboration between Ryan T. Hope (vocals, guitar) and Rebecca Faber (violin). But after a sonic shift Hope credits to hearing AFI and My Chemical Romance, "That's when things really took off." They moved to Chicago, added to their lineup and have been embraced by the Windy City-apparent in their being voted to headline the 2006 Metromix show and to play last winter's Chicago date of Taste Of Chaos.

WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW 'EM: They'll tell you it's their motto of "Class Meets Sass," and they'd probably be right. They brandish a sweeping classical sound infused with soaring metallic melodies that evokes both Straus and Straylight Run. Hope says, "Our goal is to bring back music that makes people feel something." -Tim Karan
