“With a sound that references British soul, sample culture and even a smidgeon of Bowie, Evading Straights brand of trip hop is a creative breath of fresh air on the Scarborough music scene”
- Sound of Scarborough 2023.

Forming in late 2019 and producing their first EP during the 2020 lockdown, Evading Straights have since curated their own distinctive brand of electro grunge and trip-hop. Jake’s sub heavy, atmospheric instrumentals are paired with Anna’s raw vocal stylings and punchy politically fuelled lyrics, combining to bring you a sound which is reminiscent of the triphop movement of the 90’s.
Anna and Jake take their inspiration from an eclectic range of influences such Garbage, Morcheeba, Massive Attack, Republika and Sneaker Pimps, as well as British EDM legends like Squarepusher, Orbital, Burial and Aphex Twin. 

They have recently begun to perform their material live and have received a huge amount of positive feedback.
Venues that they have performed at include; the historic Scarborough Spa, The Old parcels office art space, The Black Lion Bridlington, as well as local clubs Kings and Twist bar. Evading Straights were thrilled to be invited to record a live set at Beckview Studios, Scalby in august 2023. 
The “Beckview Sessions” is a project that aims to highlight and promote up and coming Yorkshire artists, recordings from this will be publicised in the later quarter of 2023. They also performed their first festival set at Headland 2023, where they headlined the Saturday evening.
