We are The Straight Bend,and we like to talk.

Hello! We are Alice and Shinann and these are our thoughts and ramblings about the world around us. 
We like to think we're hilarious and we like the idea of others thinking we're hilarious (a girl can dream...) so we decided to start making podcasts. 

We will talk about anything and everything and go off on tangents in between. We are always open to new ideas,so hit us up on the twitter machine ( @TheStr8Bend ) and our gmail account ( thestraightbend@gmail.com ) We hope to have a facebook page before long because,let's face it,you ain't anything without a facebook. And we're everything.

"it all makes for another interesting EP from fullbarr, which we're following more avidly with each release"-MIXMAG 


<b>It’s reassuring to know that the young bloods still care; 
 that flooding charts is not always the MO, and that artistic value can still be prized above ubiquity. 
Take Fullbarr for example – a boutique label of love from the mind of 24 year old Arthur Barr. He’s not yet an established DJ, a hyped producer or anything else; rather he’s a fan of fine electronic music who wants to add to the global conversation with his own unique accent.

And he has been doing just that with an admirably DIY approach since 2010, fusing the depths of dub, the power of techno and the mood of house into mature and alluring soundscapes that take inspiration from “parties, music, artists and friends from around the globe.” It’s a simple and honest mission, and one that is serving the Bradford based label well, with support coming in from both on and offline press (think RA, DJ Mag, De: Bug). Of course, more important than what some holed-up desk jockeys say, is what the all important disc jockey says…. And alas, with plays and chartings from top-dogs including Delano Smith, Seth Troxler, Jozif, Ripperton, Kenny Larkin, Ed Davenport, Iron Curtis fullbarr can sleep easy.

Raucous, in your face songs blend into emotional guitar driven dramas on the debut album from Repeat.  Neil Bailey's sensational voice is by turns tender and terrifying and he gives his songs an emotional resonance and urgency that is rarely heard in Irish rock.
