Lay It on the Line is a British melodic hardcore band from London. They were formed in 2012 by Phinius Gage member Mike Scott, his brother Matt and Dave Smith, who was originally guitarist in Not Katies.[2] They wrote their demo in a single evening and recorded it in a single day.[3] Championed by Radio 1 DJ Mike Davies before they'd played a show,[4] the band have so far gone on to release four EPs. Their current lineup features Duncan (formerly of Hang the Bastard).
The band, like Holy Terror bands such as Integrity (band), theme their music on The Process Church of The Final Judgment.[5]
