STRAIGHT LINE STITCH Commences Pre-Production On New Album

October 18, 2007

Knoxville, Tennesseee-based female-fronted metal/hardcore act STRAIGHT LINE STITCH has issued the following update:

"Starting tomorrow we enter pre-production on our debut record due out early 2008 on Koch Records. Our producer Rob Caggiano [ANTHRAX, CRADLE OF FILTH] of Scrap 60 Productions will be arriving around 10 in the AM here in Knoxville, TN. Rob will be spending the week with us here in Knoxville working out all the kinks and getting ourselves in gear to record. Shortly thereafter we will be heading to Sacramento, California for 3-4 weeks to track all the guitars, bass, and drums. This is where we will be getting down to the nitty-gritty...gonna be a blast! After all the music is recorded we are off to Los Angeles, California where Alexis [Brown] will begin working on the vocals for about a week or so.

"We are extremely excited and eager to work with Rob... he definitely has a massive resume to prove he knows what the hell he is doing."

STRAIGHT LINE STITCH is signed to Koch Records under the newly created Raging Nation Records imprint.

The band has previously opened for the likes of KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, SLAYER, MASTODON and many more. STRAIGHT LINE STITCH also opened dates on the Jägermeister and Vans Warped tours.

STRAIGHT LINE STITCH has already shot its first video for "Remission", which was helmed by acclaimed video director Dale "Rage" Resteghini (SHADOWS FALL, FEAR FACTORY, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN) in Atlanta and is described as "top quality, filmed on 'Super 35' film," according to the band's co-manager Charlie Moore. "That, combined with the best director of photography and the best editor in the business, this video is sure to impress."

Regarding the formation of the Raging Nation imprint, Koch senior vice president of marketing John Franck comments, "Having worked closely with Dale 'Rage' Resteghini on numerous hit videos and seeing his ability to identify trends (both rock and urban),it was a natural step for us to create a Raging Nation Records imprint. In addition to bringing new acts to the table, Raging Nation will serve as a creative hub under which we'll funnel any and all visuals pertaining to the music acts that Dale helps bring in — STRAIGHT LINE STITCH is the perfect band to get it started with. Raging Nation will be responsible for the creation/execution of all visual aspects of the STRAIGHT LINE STITCH project, including photo shoots, videos, exclusive mobile/digital content, TV commercials, web design etc. This set-up creates an opportunity for STRAIGHT LINE STITCH and Raging Nation to exercise a much larger degree of control over imaging/aesthetic while at the same time, giving Koch Records the tools it needs to market the band. We're looking forward to getting started."

STRAIGHT LINE STITCH is:

Alexis Brown - Vocals
Seth Thacker - Guitar
Patrick Haynes - Drums
