Straight Lines Announce Single And Album Details

Having just won over a small army of fans on their UK tour and released single ‘Half Gone’; the first to be taken from the band’s second album ‘Freaks Like Us’, Straight Lines are now ready to announce the plans for their new album’s release.

‘Freaks Like Us’ will be released on the 23rd April and will be preceded by the single ‘Commitments’ a week earlier. As with the band’s first album, ‘Persistance in this Game’, Straight Lines’ new album was recorded by the band’s bassist and producer Todd Campbell at the end of 2011. ‘Half Gone’ has caused much anticipation for the record, scoring ‘Single of the Week’ on Kerrang! Radio, ‘Single of the Month’ in Rock Sound magazine and Huw Stephens’ 'Next Hype' on Zane Lowes BBC Radio 1 show. You can check the video for ‘Half Gone’ below.

“Freaks Likes Us’ is a 10 track straight-up rock album covered in melodies from start to finish, it draws influences from bands such as Jimmy Eat World, Weezer and At the Drive-in with an undertone of British rock from bands like Reuben, Hundred Reasons, Biffy Clyro and Yourcodenameis:milo,” lead singer Tom Jenkinson revealed.

“‘Freaks Like Us’ is made up of songs that reflect on real stories and experiences. If you had to define the title then it basically means coming to the realisation that you're not alone in how you think or act. The songs are less personal on this album and more of an observation into the people around me.”

The tracklisting for the record can be seen below.

1. Freaks Like Us
2. Commitments
3. Half Gone
4. Ring The Bells
5. Empty Chest
6. Back Of Your Mind
7. The Dealers Hand
