Blueline Medic

Blueline Medic formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1999. The group, made up of vocalist/guitarist Donnie Dureau, guitarist Adrian Lombardi, bassist Dave Snow, and drummer Shaun Lohoar, quickly proved to bear the torch of such powerful and angular punk bands as Hüsker Dü and Jawbox. In 2000, after touring America opening for Burning Airlines, Hot Water Music, and Samiam, Blueline Medic released their debut EP, A Working Title in Green, on Fueled by Ramen. Their tense, stunning full-length, The Apology Wars, was produced by J. Robbins and released in 2001. The group's follow-up album, Text Bomb, came out in 2003. ~ Charles Spano
