Straight Reads The Line - The Author

Yet another band that are hitting the highways over the next month, but if you are anywhere other than Ontario you sadly going to miss these guys. Straight Reads The Line are heading out on a small Ontario tour with guests (on select dates) Lifestory:Monologue, Kingdoms and The Oxford Street Montage in support of their latest release The Author. This will be their second time out on this release; just last fall they crossed this great country of ours.

If you still haven't heard this album or SEEN these guys live you are missing out on one of the top Canadian Metalcore bands out right now. After really making a name for themselves on there 2007 cross Canada Tour (January/February I must mention) with label mates Dead And Divine agency's and labels started to take notice to not only SRTL but also D&D. Fast forward to 2009 both bands are back on the same label once again, (they started off on Verona Records but are now both on Distort Entertainment). Distort picked these guys up last summer and got them right into the studio so they would be able to release this album upon the world...

Whenever I listen to this album I find myself listening to it a couple times through, because it hits you so fast and quickly that it feels like an EP rather then a full length. I'm not saying this is bad thing, rather it's awesome that they have released something that seems a lot shorter then it actually is. With peoples attention spans becoming less and less it's harder for bands to keep people interested for more then 5 or 6 songs at a time, but the way this album is laid out it makes the listener think they have listened to less then they actually have.

You know what just listen for yourself, if you like all the stuff that I have already posted you are going to love this as well! Also if you are in the Toronto area on March 12th 2009 head down to the Opera House and be apart of CMW as well as SRTL's tour kick off with some other guests suck as BLEEDING THROUGH & THE ACACIA STRAIN. If you are wondering where else these boys are heading all their tour dates are posted on their myspace.

ENJOY!
