STRAIGHT JACKET LEGENDS
Meet the Straight Jacket Legends.
Coming to us from the UK, the
band formed in 2011 with Daniel
Morgan and brothers Caine,
Tommy and Jake Jones-Williams.
HNS featured this pop-punk band
in our Spring 2012 Issue. SJL is
the hottest punk band to cross
our path and we were curious
where a year has brought these
legends. When we caught up
with them we weren’t surprised
that what we had predicted for
these up and coming stars, had
just been the path that they were
travelling on. They have recently
signed a deal with International
Independent label Self Made
Records and are set to record
their yet- titled debut full length

album this year. SMR will be
releasing the album worldwide
through Sony RED and cementing
tour plans for California & New
York in the new year. Straight
Jacket Legends have asked
musician, friend and Hollywood
actor Thomas Ian Nicholas
(American Pie, Rookie of the
Year) to perform on the album.
Other guests confirmed for the
album include Brendan B. Brown
(Teenage Dirtbag writer, and
Wheatus frontman) and
Nerdcore Hip-Hop artist MC Lars.
The band released their single
‘She’s Out of Line’ (feat. MC Lars)
in July 2013 to excellent reviews.
Kerrang! Radio deemed it a ‘PopPunk Classic’. To celebrate the

place

Album recording will take place
at Ferlas Studios and will be
produced by Richard Roberts.
