Run by former NME scribe James Oldum, the Polydor subsidiary has been delighted with the plays their double-A-sided 'Black Honey'/'Once More' single has been receiving on UK radio.
Among their most ardent supporters is BBC Radio 2's Bob Harris who, after giving 'Once More' its first spin, enthused: "From Dublin a really excellent dark and brooding band called Mainline. Of all the bands I've heard in the last few months these stand out the most. It's a really dynamic record – they sound terrific and I'm going to play this a lot."
At the moment it's only a one-off single deal, but with praise like that you can't imagine Loog wanting to let them go.
You can check Mainline out live on New Year's Eve when a DJ-ing David Holmes joins them for Auld Lang Syne duties in the Temple Bar Music Centre.
