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, Rovi
