We Walk In Straight Lines turn two this year. Like teething toddlers ragging paint-soaked fingers across multi-coloured sheets of sugar paper, Jonny Russell, Mark Booth, Oli Robertson and James Bandenburg are ready to unleash their merry-go-round blend of musical melodrama on audiences all over the UK in 2011. After 2010's support slots with The Strange Death of Liberal England and Field Music, the band have won praise from the likes of Tom Robinson (BBC6 Music), "the kind of band that simply have to make this music or else they would explode" and Bido Lito, "exactly what industrial post-punk in 2011 should be: witty, humble and interesting". WWISL's self-released, self-titled debut EP, a furious smorgasbord of hollow vindication played out to an imaginary menagerie of morbidly obese cats and sapless bullfrogs, is now available. Rarely at rest, the band are constantly developing their sound taking in echoes of The Walkmen, Pixies, The National and Husker Du. Beneath them is only mud and crust and ever-depleting lilypads of grass; listen to them hop from sod-to-sod, listen to the struggle.
