2010 has been one hell of a year for Welsh rockers STRAIGHT LINES. They began the year with the release of their incredible debut album 'Persistence In This Game' through Xtra Mile Recordings (Frank Turner, The Xcerts, Far...). The album picked up great reviews in the press (8/10 Rocksound, 4/5 Big Cheese, 3/5 Kerrang!) and excellent radio support with Kerrang! Radio making it their 'Album of the Week'.
Tours followed with InMe, The Automatic, The Xcerts, The Get Up Kids and Attack! Attack! along with festival appearances at SxSW, Camden Crawl, Slam Dunk, SWN, Download and Sonishere. Throughout the year Straight Lines released three singles from 'Persistence In This Game'; 'Runaway Now', 'Loose Change' and 'Say It For Your Sake'.
The band have been busy working on new material for the follow up to 'Persistence In This Game' and will continue to write and demo new material throughout the winter and aim to release their new album in summer 2011. Before the year is out the band will embark on their second headline tour of 2010. Dates are as follows:
