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!
