At the tail end of December 2015, after finding each other on bandmate-finder website 'Join My Band', Touchlines (then called 'Blitzball' after the famous sport minigame in Final Fantasy X), was created with the aim of bringing upbeat, energetic pop-punk to Britain and the world!

Unfortuantely, despite practicing every week and becoming very tight with the songs we had, we only played one gig. We recorded a live music video session of the first song that I composed for the band (titled 'Thunder Buddies For Life'). Some of our other songs can be found in the 'Misc. Recordings' section of my music back-catalogue where they exist as demos.

It definitely felt like the energy, time and money put into Touchlines might have warranted a different outcome, but alas the old cliche of 'musical differences' abruptly and prematurely cut the project short; however, the end of Touchlines was the catalyst for my joining the navy which was a drastic change for the better in my life, so it wasn't all bad.
