Straight Arrows put out new 7", announce September tour

Straight Arrows

Everyone's favourite Sydney-based punksters Straight Arrows have teamed up with an equally noisy bunch of French dudes (Frudes) called The Creteens to release an uber special split 7" via Paris-based label Resistance A Go-Go.

Straight Arrows - Jeepster

There are two sides of the record. Each band 'owns' a side and even though one is labeled 'A' and one is labeled 'B' - they are both packed with EQUAL amounts of bone-shattering radness.

A: Straight Arrows
Jeepster
Close That Door

B: The Creteens
Bon Style Des Noirs
Crunchwrap Supreme

International folks can order the record via the Resistance A Go-Go MySpazz, while those in Australia and/or New Zealand are recommended to 'cut da shipping costs' and order it directly from the band. A couple of stores around town (the fantastic Repression Records on King St for one) also have a few copies of the record for those that are scared of the internet and/or don't have 'good' credit.

Da Arrows will also be hitting the road, playing a whole bunch of shows to celebrate the new release...
