Teen alt-pop bands rarely come as packed full of potential as Tāmaki Makaurau’s Borderline. With an innate sense of musicality and melody, the group is rapidly charting a course to become a permanent fixture on Aotearoa’s live scene.

 ‘Watching It Burn’ showcases a band that has truly found its stride. It’s a track that highlights their growth both in the studio and on the stage, delivering a sophisticated yet infectious vibe that appeals to their contemporaries and elders alike. Borderlines aren't just playing the game, they're setting the pace for the next generation of Kiwi alt-pop.
