Straight Lines - Out now... Tom Jenkins (vocals/guitar) for the band gives us some straight answers! What style of music is your band? Straight Lines are a rock a band, heavily influenced by punk, indie, hardcore and pop.
What do you think of the current music scene? The current music is very strong in this country, we just played hit the deck festival and that really justified how strong the scene is. What did you have to do to get
signed?
Just cause a bit of a buzz, get out tour and work hard. Make people notice you. Who are your favourite bands atm? Haven't really been listening to a
lot of new stuff lately, just a lot of silverchair atm. Looking forward to the new mystery jets album. What advice could you give to any aspiring band? Just work hard and set yourself small goals to achieve and just work on them at the start.
How long does it take to record an ep?
Do you look at the band like a business or a passion?
It took us 3 weeks to record our album.
Bit of both really, the passion for it has taken us up to be a touring band and when you get to that level you need to make money to keep your hopes alive.
What equipment do you use? I use a marshall bluesbreaker and fender guitars.
