Athlete reached number one in the UK album charts with their album 'Tourist' in 2005, winning the coveted Ivor Novello Award the following year, and more recently released their fourth studio album 'Black Swan'.
Jon Bilbrough, who also performs under the name Wilderthorn, has previously toured with Athlete, as well as with British Christian rockers Delirious?, and is son of popular British worship leader Dave Bilbrough (writer of 'Abba Father', 'All Hail The Lamb' and 'I Am A New Creation').
"I've been writing and recording tracks with Tim Wanstall from the band Athlete", confirmed Jon Bilbrough. "It's been a great chance for me to express a whole other side of songwriting, backed by Tim's array of 80's synths, classical piano. We've had lots of fun... layering my vocals, distorting them, and messing around with tape delays. The project is called L-I-N-E-S and the recordings are very nearly ready for next year! We've decided to kick things off with a Christmas Single, a dark but cheeky 80's version of the most famous carol there is... 'Silent Night'."
