My Vitriol: Finelines/BetweenTheLines

Finelines/BetweenTheLinesFor a new band like My Vitriol to appear on the scene and make such an impression with their debut album, it is a rare enough occurence. The original version of this album, Finelines, was released in 2001. A spellbinding blend of the chorused, distorted guitars and frantic air of Nirvana, the catchy tunes of the likes of Guided By Voices and shoegazing atmospherics of My Bloody Valentine, Finelines showed them to be one of the most promising new British bands. In 2002, the album was rerelased in the same format as the US version: remastered and with Betweenthelines, a bonus disc of b-sides and rarities.
