Having just released their second album 'Freaks Like Us', Straight Lines have today announced dates for an Autumn UK tour.
‘Freaks Like Us’ was released on the 23rd April and as with the band’s first album, ‘Persistance in this Game’, Straight Lines’ second album was recorded by the band’s bassist and producer Todd Campbell at the end of 2011.
“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 track-listing 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
