STRAIGHT LINE STITCH Signs With KOCH RECORDS

September 8, 2007

Koch Records has announced the signing of the Knoxville, Tennesseee-based female-fronted metal/hardcore act STRAIGHT LINE STITCH. The band is signed under the newly created Raging Nation Records imprint. The group will enter the studio this fall to record a new album for a 2008 release.

STRAIGHT LINE STITCH is currently playing dates with 3 INCHES OF BLOOD and will make its New York City debut on September 13 at Fat Baby. 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."

Scott Givens, VP of metal, says, "From the moment Rage brought the band's EP in, I knew this band was a must-have. We are thrilled to add such an amazing act to our growing metal roster and working with our partners at Raging Nation to break them wide open."

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."
