Straightaway

Started out in late 99, the band struggled for a few years to find a stable line-up and bassist, being seriously slowed down in the process of playing shows and recording. They however managed throughout the years to play with bands like No Use For A Name, Lagwagon, Strung Out, Bigwig, Coheed & Cambria, A Wilhelm Scream, The Lawrence Arms, Ten Foot Pole, Satanic Surfers, Paint It Black, Venerea, Undeclinable, Belvedere, Digger, Garrison amongst others. In early 2005 they eventually get to record their first 5 track EP Emotions And Anger and right away get the opportunity of a european tour in support of Useless ID (Kung Fu records) in may -june 2005, playing 30 shows in 31 days, in front of a brand new and wider audience, across Holland, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Czech Republic and the UK... A new found stability was set through Fabs arrival on bass just after the band came back from touring. Ever since, Straightaway has been working on establishing itself worldwide and a long awaited upcoming full length entitled Democracy Of spreading Poverty due out in june 2007.
