Strawhouses,
Liverpool’s anti-heroes and the bête noire of the ‘Mersey
Sound’ fire a shot across the bows of British Indie Music
with the release on Possible Records of their debut single
‘A Good Night Out’ on 18th May. It’s a statement of
intent that cannot be ignored. Following quickly behind
the release of their critically acclaimed ‘Runaway
Child EP’, A Good Night Out instantly hits you,
somewhat eerily, as an anthem of our current times… ‘We
got a little greedy, and selfishness became the rule, someone’s
got to suffer, I guess that’s just the way of the world…’
Donnelly’s lyrics and their melodies will haunt and
delight you in equal measure, lodging themselves firmly
within your consciousness.
Recorded at Highfield & JWS studios with their good
friend and esteemed producer Jon Withnall (Coldplay/Feeder/Elbow)
the band are accompanying the single release with an extensive
tour in April & May starting with launch parties in
Liverpool and London, and playing nights at The Playground
at Proud Galleries, Camden’s 93 Feet East, The Night and
Day in Manchester, Evol in Liverpool, as well as Leeds,
Portsmouth and more!
Having already gigged extensively across the country and
supported the likes of Red Light Company and NME favourites
Die! Die! Die!
Strawhouses have been amassing fans far and wide with their
unique and heart stopping anthems. They do not hide the
influences of Radiohead, Buckley and The Bunnymen, but these
boys are far too good to slip into the familiar territory
of tribute or pastiche, rather their influences are mirrored
in the incredible musicianship and intellectual weight of
their music.
Building towards their debut album, ‘A Good Night Out’ is
the most important and enriching single you’ll hear all
year… musically, politically, and industrially!
