BORDERLINE | Chrysalis EP Release Tour

Borderline is what happens when four best friends grow up making music together and never stop. The New Zealand quartet - Ben Glanfield (vocals/guitar/keys), Jackson Boswell (drums/vocals), Matthew McFadden (lead guitar), and Max Harries (bass) - channel deep connection into a sound thats as expansive as it is intimate. Blending shimmering pop, funk grooves, and soaring indie-rock anthems, Borderline is quickly becoming one of the most exciting new bands to break out of the Southern Hemisphere.

Formed in Auckland, the band began building momentum with their debut single Spinning and breakout Perfect Movie Scene EP. Theyve since earned millions of streams, cracked the NZ and U.S. college radio charts, and sold out shows across New Zealand. In 2024, they left school to pursue music full-time - a decision quickly validated by the success of Heartbeat, and their buzzy U.S. debut at SXSW and first UK shows at The Great Escape.

Their new EP Chrysalis (EMPIRE) pushes further, with standout singles New Romance (NZ Hot 20 #1), When Its Raining, and Breakdown earning spins from BBC Radio 1, Triple J, and major college stations. At the heart of it all is their friendship. If you can hear our connection in the music, says Jackson, that would be really special.
