2025 has been a breakout year for the Auckland four-piece. Fresh off their latest EP Chrysalis, they signed to global indie label EMPIRE, dropped the singles When It’s Raining and New Romance, and made their US live debut with shows at SXSW, New York, and Los Angeles. They also hit The Great Escape in Brighton on the “Ones to Watch” lineup, cementing their international profile.
Known for catchy hooks and heartfelt lyrics, Borderline are steadily building momentum at home and abroad. Their return to Australia for BIGSOUND is another step in what’s shaping up to be a big rise for the band.
