Background notes
Archive material and source history
Straw formed in Los Angeles with Sarah Blackwood on vocals, Christopher Trapper on guitar, Matt Malley on bass, and Brad Pemberton on drums. They put out five albums, starting with 'The Nine Hours' in 2001, followed by 'The Miracle Mile' and 'Tomorrow's Dead'.
Their song 'United States of Amnesia' from 2006 got some attention for its lyrics about forgetting history. Other tracks like 'Anthem For The Low In Self-esteem' and 'Postcards from hell' show their tendency toward moody, reflective writing.
In 2004, some critics took issue with their song 'Addict,' saying it glamorized drug use. The band pushed back, saying they were just describing reality. That kind of friction around their subject matter became part of their story.
