Thousands of sales of two self-released EPs in the past two years and shows with some of the biggest acts in the indie scene: The Used, Thrice, Finch, Story of the Year, My Chemical Romance, etc... caught the attention of Florida-based label, One Eleven Records (The Spill Canvas, This Day & Age). After months of writing, rehearsing, recording and pre-production, the band set out to record "The Resolution" with producers, Matt Squire (Northstar, Midtown, The Receiving End of Sirens) and Paul Leavitt (Over It, Don't Look Down).
The band recently completed its most successful tour to date: The 2005 One Eleven Records Artist Tour, featuring The Spill Canvas, This Day & Age and Mashlin. On this tour, the band played several sold out shows spanning from Florida up to Connecticut and as far west as Colorado. The band tries to make as many friends as possible while on tour and hopes that their positive energy spreads around the country.
In the time they've been together, they have toured with: The Spill Canvas (One Eleven/WMG), This Day & Age (One Eleven/WMG), Valencia (I Surrender), Race The Sun (Rust/Universal), The Smash Up (Warcon), Man Alive (Militia Group), Nural (Hopeless), Transition (Floodgate/WMG), Mashlin (One Eleven/WMG) and Rookie of the Year (One Eleven/WMG) up and down the East Coast and much further west.
Thin Dark Line is one of the hardest-working bands on the scene which is evident by TDL's philosophy as stated by lead singer Bryan Barnes, "Thin Dark Line will not rest until its mark has been made on the indie scene." Their One Eleven Records debut full length, "The Resolution" was released on October 25th, 2005. They are currently working on a new album.

Thin Dark Line Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The strain on your throat,
An intense response,
I am your echo.
I am your feeling,
Your focus,
I am your Luna,
You are my home.
You are the lonely one.
But we're lonely with you.
(with you) We're with you. (we're with you)
Thicken our senses. Lighten our eyes.
You remind us that there are answers, they will come with time.
I can't breathe in your stare.
Reactions, repercussions.
I am affection and its effect, reincarnation.
The invisible barriers evaporate
The goals you set, expectations.
I am not immune to your charm.
The lyrics to Thin Dark Line's song "Luna" describe a very intimate and personal relationship between two beings. In the opening lines, the singer declares themselves as the sunlight and the strain on the listener's throat, perhaps symbolizing their presence in the listener's life as both a source of warmth and comfort but also a weight that can be overwhelming. The lines "I am your feeling, Your focus" further emphasize the extent to which the listener's emotional state is intertwined with that of the singer.
As the song continues, the singer addresses the listener's sense of loneliness by assuring them that they are not truly alone - the singer and others are there with them, experiencing their struggles and offering support. The lines "Thicken our senses. Lighten our eyes" suggest that the listener's presence has heightened the singer's perspective on the world, making them more aware of the beauty and complexity around them.
The song ends on a note of vulnerability, with the confession that the singer is not immune to the listener's charm. Overall, "Luna" is a deeply emotional song that explores themes of connection, isolation, and the power of personal relationships to shape our emotional experiences.
