Mike from The Mike James Rock Show catches up with Benji and Simon from Waterlines at Bloodstock Festival — two years after their last appearance on the show. The guys talk about their whirlwind post-pandemic journey, relentless touring, loyal fans who travel the country to see them, and their brand-new single "Sinister" — a crushing blend of synthwave, cyberpunk, nu metal, and metalcore.

They also share details about the stunning cyberpunk-inspired video for the track, upcoming gigs in Cambridge, Manchester, and Reading, and their love for sweaty, intimate venues. Oh — and Simon’s still powering through back injuries for the love of the music!
