If you haven't latched onto Straight Lines yet, you better shape up. After a couple of rampaging full-lengths, the band's new EP Escapology is a reminder of just how climactic, engaging and straight-up catchy this band's soaring pop-rock can be. Check out the video for the title track in the replies.

From the Interview

Yeah, the songs were years old and that album was just a load of songs thrown together whereas this one was different from the start. We kind of took a different approach to production - kept it basic and didn't layer too much stuff so it's just like what you hear live.

The King Blues, Kids In Glass Houses and Modestep will headline this year's Redfest in Surrey, UK. Young Guns, Crowns, Don Broco, Straight Lines are also amongst the bands added today. The festival will run from July 20-22. Head here to see the line-up in full.

Straight Lines' video for "Half Gone" can be seen in the replies. The track is taken from the band's forthcoming album Freaks Like Us, which is set for a UK release in April through Xtra Mile Recordings.
