Free Straight Lines Track

Straight Lines - Freaks Like UsFollowing yesterday’s free Soulfly track offer, today XtraMile Recordings have released a free Straight Lines track called “Freaks Like Us”.

I’m a huge fan of the band and featured their first album Persistence In This Game in my “8 Albums You’ve Probably Never Heard But Should” feature, so I urge you to grab the freebie, check out the video for forthcoming first single “Half Gone”, and go buy the first album too!

You can grab the free song directly from XtraMile Recordings landing page.

“Freaks Like Us” is the title track from their second album, due for release on 23rd April.
