Straight Line Stitch Parts Ways With Drummer Kanky Lora - Official Statement Available!

Knoxville, Tennessee rockers Straight Line Stitch, have announced that they have parted ways with drummer Kanky Lora. Here is Lora's official statement:

"I have decided to step away from STRAIGHT LINE STITCH. I actually made this decision and informed the band of my departure, after our last European tour. And now with the New Year and a fresh start, I feel now is the best time to show this to the public.

"Obviously, there are many reasons behind this decision, but none that I feel the need to discuss since I would like to leave in good faith.

"I will always cherish the countless memories, good and bad, and will always be thankful for all of the great experiences that I've had with the band.

"Thank you to all the fans for your generous support and God bless you all. I wish nothing but the best and good luck to the band and their future members.

"As of right now, Im still producing and engineering and had a few offers for touirng already so I will be hitting the road soon. I'm still looking to join another band full-time as well."

Straight Line Stitch released their latest album entitled 'The Fight Of our Lives', in March of last year via EOne Music. What really stands out about this record, is Alexis's vocals and the musical variety within the record. While some may say that they are experimenting too much, we believe that the band has carefully crafted a solid album that promises to be the bands most successful album to date. While this is definitely a challenge for the band, they are used to taking challenges by the horns and rising back up. Stay tuned for more information.
