The Redliners have had a write up in the Inpress music magazine, (Wed 30th June 1999, Issue no.565 p.47). Along with a photo of the band, the write up is very encouraging. Here is what was said:
"What I saw of the Redliners was rockin' blues pushing some great original material. They are led by a fantastic looking, smooth-moving frontman. The Redliners really had the crowd around their little fingers." Glenn Peters, Inpress 1998
The Redliners have received great reviews for the debut CD 29 released in 1998. They have demonstrated on disc the kind of energy that is evident in their live performances. Each of the band members are escapees from several of Melbourne's finest blues bands. The line-up features songwriter/vocalist Rod Paine, David Birtwell (guitar), Ben Peters (guitar), Shane Antonie (drums) and Tony Harwood on double bass. the band formed from a love of '50s rock 'n' roll, blues and '60s R&B. The Redliners have a great reputation as a rocking live band and have established themselves with a regular Friday night gig in Melbourne at the new Rainbow Hotel in Sydney Road, Brunswick.
