Release Notes:
Liverpool based indie band, Strawhouses will self release their debut
album, These Are Willing as a physical only order, available from their
website on 6th June 2011.
The album was produced by Jon Withnall (Coldplay/Feeder/Elbow) and is
full of gripping melodies, soaring guitars and at time unsettling
rhythms. Think Interpol meeting Jeff Buckley in a darkened alley…
Formed in 2007 from the ashes of several early incarnations, the band
self released an EP and a ‘Live in Session’ DVD, before releasing their
debut single, A Good Night in May 2008, they then went on release their
second single Malaise, in 2010 and now their debut album.
The band is fronted by Paul Donnelly, lead guitar comes from Chris
Smith, bass guitar and vocals are provided by Michael Bradshaw and
Danny Quirk completes the line up on drums.
“The album is certainly the culmination of 4 years of songwriting; it's
a very focused and intense listen – the first 5 tracks are unrelenting
and quite accessible with songs like Batteries and The Way Of The World
and the second half of the album is where the really meaty tracks like
Malaise, Runaway Child and Train Wreck can be found.
Lyrically there are two main themes running through the album; the
connections and collapses of everyday relationships; the second is my
intolerance to excessive greed and abuse of power from those that are
in control, and how that filters down.” (Paul Donnelly, Strawhouses
frontman)
Strawhouses having already gigged extensively across the country and
supported the likes of Red Light Company and NME favorites Die! Die!
Die!, 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 gigs as far north as Sunderland and far south as Portsmouth, the
boys climaxed their relentless touring by performing at Scottish
festival Rockness. They will be touring the album from May 2011 and
supporting its release with the album's second single proper,
Batteries.
