Biography

The Starting line consists of Ken (singer, bass), Mike (guitar), Matt (guitar), and Tom (drums). The group, which is from Churchville, Pennsylvania, are in their late teens. The Starting Line began in 1999 when Matt wrote an e-mail to Ken. The e-mail said: “My name is Matt. I live about twenty minutes from you. I checked out your AOL profile. You like a lot of cool bands. I was wondering if you knew anyone who would be interested in singing for my band.” Luckily, Ken replied and the group began rehearsing and hanging out together. In the beginning, the boys called themselves Sunday drive. One month after they were created, the group signed to Line Records, a small independent label. They soon after signed to We The People records, a label based out of Southern California. They then had to change their name to The Starting Line because Sunday Drive was already taken. They then signed to Drive-Thru Records. In 2000, The Starting Line began touring with other indie bands. They then released their EP entitled With Hopes of Starting Over. The group released their debut album, Say It Like You Mean It, in 2002. The album has been out almost a year and has sold over 200,000 units. That is amazing considering the band has not had any mainstream media. They have received all their publicity solely over the Internet.

i like starting line a whole shitload, but the that one song "The Best of Me" is getting a little bit overplayed.	AlternativePMR666

I love "the best of me" and i dont care if its getting overplayed I dont have there cd but i always wanted it, nobody ever has it. so i only get to hear the singles	CarvedPride_SOTY
My favorite songs are: Nothings gonna stop us now, Leaving, This Ride, Forever in a day, Make yourself at Home and many, many more. Best Of Me IS completely overplayed. - Candace	RainbowsAreRad
Just a few hours ago I just attended a Starting Line concert...they are SO kick-ass live. They had great live vocals, acoustics, electric playing, and overall stage presence. Hooray for them.	AlternativePMR666
wait the stsrting line is overplayed? where are you? no maybe the question should be where am i?	bloodstains
Damn, unlike you posers I'm the only who doesn't just know the Starting Line's singles! I have all three of their cds and I saw them live. Wow you guys are posers. :) -Carrie	alternativepmr666
hey does anybody know where to find guitar tabs to almost there going nowhere, cuz it has sweet guitar but i cant find tabs for it??	lpwakeboarder8
nope, sorry, wish i could help tho. ill keep my eyes open! and alternativepmr666...yer just a racist, 14 year old, who is the real poser... ppl who are true punks dont give a fuck about "posers" and shit....they dont go around randomly calling people posers either...u my friend are NOT a punk... :)	SiMpLePlAnLoVeR13
I just think it's dumb to be so concerned with "Who's the bigger fan" and all that nonsense... It's just music, people. Some kids have more of an opportunity to attend every concert and purchase every single piece of merchandise a band has ever put out. Others make do with what they have. As long as people aren't into a band for the wrong reasons, I don't see any reason to criticize them. It's just silly.	cLaNdEsTiNeGiRl
thats a really good point	SiMpLePlAnLoVeR13
are they good? i've never heard them	rach_luvs_simpleplan
the starting line?!? theyre soo good! check out their song the best of me at www.purevolume.com/thestartingline i heart that song	SiMpLePlAnLoVeR13
alrighty	rach_luvs_simpleplan
i am not a big fan hell i won't even really call me a fan but i want to see them this year on the vans warped tour i think they might be a really good live.	fairiekisses
yea i love the starting line, the best of me would always be the shit, but i like their new song bedroom talk and ready, it's really great.	xladyofthehourx
hey why do you have to like the same song i like xladieofthehourx haha jk. but i love Ready and Bedroom F**k like kenny said haha great songs.	SiMpLe_RiOt_GiRl
I'm afraid I like Best Of Me too. But I was wondering if any1 here is an English fan... I am going 2 c them at the carling academy birmingham on 14th september in my local city, n it's their last show. Ne1 else going?	Wendell
Actually come to think of it I like "The World" the best!!!	Wendell
The starting line is so cool. The first time I listened to say it like you mean it- I thought every song sounded the same- but now I really like it. Not nessesarily deep stuff- but fun	h8apathy
STAY RIGHT WHERE I CAN SEE YOU! yea, i listening to based on a truse story alot, I saw them at Warped, amazing I must say, I love them live, Kenny has ALOTA talent! the whole band does! I am seeing em again in nov.	mrs_gerardway1
my favorite song is probably "cheek to cheek" but the new cd is so different and great, it's hard to choose one from those songs, but maybe "cut! print it" off of BOATS. i'm looking forward to the nintendo fusion tour :)	olpfan
Look dudes, i've asked this question to so many people, n the most commen answer is always best of me. it can never be overplayed. The meaning of the song is amazing. who agree's wiv me on this 1	wardy182
can't understand why they don't get more airplay. "based on a true story" deserves to be heard. been to their concerts and they're getting better every year - and kenny's vocals are awesome! come on! spread the word about the starting line!!!	joycando
the starting line is amazing! i saw them a few years ago with like sum 41 and authority zero and no use for a name. that was a great concert! i even have a pic of kenny! he stopped for me to get a pic! they really should be played more	JesusIsMyBFFAE
i love the starting line and that one song which i can't stop singing everytime i see something sexual or hot like rock band lead singers is bedroom talk. after a while it started to bug my friends because they sstarted to think i was gay but then they heard it so now most of the classes know the starting line only because of that song Bedroom Talk.
