STRAIGHT LINE STITCH bassist Jason White told Metalholic about the band's new lineup, "I'm excited that Lex and I are able to continue with the band. I hope that our fans won't be let down. Of course, things will be different. But for better or worse? Come see for yourself."
When asked if he felt any pressure stepping into STRAIGHT LINE STITCH because of the band's past success, Palmer told Metalholic, "Absolutely. Yeah, it's a little intimidating to come into a band this big. STRAIGHT LINE has been busting their asses for a very long time. They've worked for everything they have. But I feel confident in my writing and playing and dedication, that I think this is going to be a great thing. STRAIGHT LINE has a lot of fans that have stuck with them this whole time and they deserve for STRAIGHT LINE to keep going. Again, I'm so thankful for this opportunity. Everyone in the band wants the same thing, and everyone is prepared to do whatever it takes. I'm excited. Good things are to come for this band. STRAIGHT LINE STITCH deserves it."
