Straight Lines Release Loose Change

• 26th May 2010

On the back of a host of recent successful shows including showcases at SxSW and a slot on Huw Stephen's stage at the Camden Crawl, Welsh four-piece Straight Lines announce their next single 'Loose Change'.

Taken from previous Kerrang! Radio album of the week 'Persistence In This Game', it showcases the band's furious melodic highs which secured previous single 'Runaway Now' plays from Bruce Dickenson on 6Music, XFM Rock Show and Bethan on Radio 1.

Their rising presence on the UK rock scene has seen them supporting The Automatic and Motorhead and they've now been confirmed for Download Festival, and the Kerrang! Introducing Stage at the Slam Dunk Festival.

They're not stopping any time soon either as they embark on the first ever Xtra Mile UK tour with label mates The Xcerts and they also support the mighty Frank Turner at the O2 Birmingham Academy in May.

Their album track 'The Ballad of Peter Devine' is included on the forthcoming iTunes exclusive compilation 'Xtra Mile High Club Vol. 2'
