2012 was quite a year for STRAIGHT LINES, one of our favourite up and comers here at Glasswerk; they released their brilliant second album ‘Freaks Like Us’ (which spawned three singles), embarked on their first European tour with label mates Sonic Boom Six, toured with The Blackout, Canterbury, Presidents of the USA and have just finished their own mammoth headline tour.
The band can now reveal their first plans for 2013. The year will kick off with the band releasing their amazing new EP ‘Escapology’. The title track of the EP sees the band expand their musical horizons with this hugely anthemic track. The EP also featured a brilliant take on ‘Ring The Bells’ and two additional tracks.
In support of the release of ‘Escapology’ Straight Lines will be heading out on tour with the brilliant We Are The Ocean in January and February 2013. See dates below:
