Portland, Maine’s Borderlines resurface with FREESELFSERVICE!, a track written over a decade ago but only now making its proper debut. Recorded during the sessions for their Repair Kit EP, the song arrives August 15 alongside a video filmed in a rustic barn setting—raw, unpolished, and perfectly in step with the band’s heartfelt punk energy.
At its core, FREESELFSERVICE! is about inheritance—not money or material things, but the unspoken lessons passed down through family. With lyrics reflecting on adolescence, memory, and the “social tools” that carry forward, the song mixes personal reflection with soaring pop-punk hooks. The result is a track that feels both nostalgic and urgent, a snapshot of the past delivered with the urgency of the present.
With their New England weekend tour around the corner, Borderlines are showing why they’ve endured as one of Portland’s most consistent voices in melodic punk: songs that hit hard, connect deeply, and stay in your head long after the final chord.
