Straight Line Stitch: The Fight Of Our Lives
When Straight Line Stitch was formed in 1999, the bands philosophy was to focus on their musical path and to percect their craft regardless of the challenges that were thrown at them. After various lineup changes (including two vocalists), Straight Line Stitch found their missing Joker in Alexis Brown, who was able to bring a sonic assault blended with beautiful harmonies. From that moment on the band started making a lot of noise.
While some fans have questioned the evolution of the band since they feel that the band sounds more commercial nowadays, on their latest album titled "The Fight Of Our Lives", the band proves that their musical evolution has placed them in the musical spotlight. As a result their are many within the music industry, including Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed & Kingdom Of sorrow), that believe that this is the band to watch in 2011.
After carefully listening to their brand new album (out today), Straight Line Stitch have proved that their musical evolution has helped them create original sense-full hard hitting music. What really stands out on this record, is Alexis's vocals and the musical variety within the record. While some may say that they are experimenting too much, we believe that the band has carefully crafted a solid album that promises to be the bands most successful album to date. Scheduled to appear at this years Mayhem Fest, the next 6 months should be very interesting for Straight Line Stitch.
Recently, the band performed at The Gramercy Theater in New York City along with Times Of Grace, and we had the chance to interview vocalist Alexis Brown and Straight Line Stitch's founder/guitarist Seth Tacker. During this memorable interview we discussed the past and the present of of the band. Sit back, relax, and throw your HORNS UP!
