The Blue Line is an indie pop duo based in Dallas, Texas. It consists of brothers Michael and John, who share more than a familial bond: a deep life-long passion for music. Michael serves as the frontman and vocalist and John is the lead guitarist. Despite their differing musical tastes, the two brothers combine their creativity to craft a unique and distinctive sound.

The duo’s name, “The Blue Line,” is a nod to the DART rail line in Dallas, a place that holds childhood memories for them. Their sound draws inspiration from a mix of artists, including Post Malone, The Strokes, and Milky Chance-placing them between the genres of alt rock and pop-rap… whatever that means.

The Blue Line’s music stands out for its ability to create organic, raw sounds infused with a deeply personal twist.

On August 22, 2024, they released their latest single, “ik u care,” along with an official music video. The song, which delves into the emotions of leaving someone and missing them while realizing they are better off apart, is known for its whimsical melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and emotional depth overall.
