Your song today is "The Jig is Up" from Straight Reads the Line's 2008 album The Author. This song is yet another example of how this bend deftly fused frenzied aggression with a gargantuan sense of melody, and pack it all into a song that's only two and a half minutes long. So as another year winds down, take the short few minutes required to discover and remember a band you probably never knew existed and lament the premature end of what could have been something very special.

Song of the Day: Straight Reads the Line - The Jig is Up
Since I did another Kingdoms song yesterday, I figure it's only right to attempt the same resurrection voodoo on another Canadian band I've mentioned before that expired before its time, in the admittedly vain hopes that exposing them to some new fans might somehow magically change the past. Sigh. At least we've got some great songs from bands like Straight Reads the Line.
