The 'Hed to Head' tour is a great opportunity to work with two of the hardest working bands over the last 10 years, Mushroomhead and Hed(pe)," commented Alexis Brown of Straight Line Stitch. "They know how to kill every town they hit. We are definitely cut from the same metal cloth having toured for years ourselves and aspire to achieve the sorts of successes they have had in their respective careers."

Armed with an unstoppable work ethic and a musical vocabulary that stretches from face-ripping metal to soulful rock, Straight Line Stitch are poised to grab heavy music by the horns with their Raging Nation/KOCH Records debut, "When Skies Wash Ashore". The group's eclectic mixture of melodic metalcore has allowed them to open for the likes of DevilDriver, Napalm Death, Bleed The Sky and 36 Crazyfists.

Mushroomhead are currently in the studio recording their 7th album at their Filthy Hands Recording facility in Cleveland, Ohio which is due out in early 2010 via Megaforce/Sony Music. Produced by co-founding member and drummer Steve "Skinny" Felton, the yet-to-be-titled new album is promised to be the bands most vicious and ambitious sound to date! The band is also gearing up to take their hardcore vaudeville act on the road and will embark on a short run of dates on the Mayhem Tour alongside Marilyn Manson, Slayer and Killswitch Engage starting on July 31st and will then launch this summer tour with (Hed)pe which includes a stop at "The Rock The Ink Festival" in Providence, RI. The band recently released their "Vol. 2" DVD last year which debut at #7 in Billboard's "Top Music Videos" chart.
