Straight Arrows Want to Make America Gyrate Again

Listen to a track from the Sydney band’s new USA tour record.

​Sydney's Straight Arrows​ are set to return to their fifth favourite country, the United States of America. The home of baseball, Chipotle sofritas and winning, it's a country that has warmed to the four-piece's manic take on garage rock n roll, screaming into microphones and charm. This is something like the band's tenth tour of the country as they've realised that compared to Australia, the size and population of America allows them to play more shows, sell a lot more merch, and drink backstage beer with Dwyer and Thee Oh Sees.

You can scope the tour dates below and if you live in the southern part of the USA we suggest you get along to the Orlando gig at Will's Pub where the guys will be joined by Tampa's Gino & The Goons​ as well as Golden Pelicans and Secret Tracers. We know someone (most likely Owen), will be rolling around in broken glass.
