States of Emotion are four youthful, passionate, song writers, hell bent on providing a sound drenched in anthemic melody to unite the masses. With a compelling unity that has come from playing music together since the age of 14, these groove laden southern upstarts will be able to send shudders from the spit & sawdust venues of a city near you to the rapture of the most illustrious festivals.
Having already played some huge gigs, including Glastonbury 2009, The Great Escape Festival & Offset Festival, States of Emotion will head out on a headline tour taking in the following venues in early 2010:
FEB 26th – PORTSMOUTH – Drift in the City
MAR 3rd – MANCHESTER – Roadhouse
MAR 4th – BRIGHTON – Providence
MAR 13th – BIRMINGHAM – Hare & Hounds
MAR 20th – ROMFORD – Bitter End (Fight Them on the Beaches Launch Party)
MAR 26th – OXFORD – The Bullingdon
MAR 30th – BRIGHTON – Jam
MAY 15th – SX Festival
Set against an eerily optimistic backdrop, the Essex quartet thrive on a combination of melodic guitars, pounding skins and pulse raising vocals to produce a sound that’s ship set sail from English shores a long time ago.
Creating a sound this unique, at a time when the British music scene is at its diverse best, can only represent a band with an unpredictable but explosive future.
The Essex quartet started their own label Perfectly Blue Records and entered the studio with Producer Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers) in Nov 2009 to record their full length debut album “Black and White To Gold”. States of Emotion will be touring the U.K and releasing a string of singles before the album hits shelves.
The first of these singles is “Fight Them on The Beaches” released as a FREE DOWNLOAD on Sat 20th March.
Fight them on the Beaches named Radio 1s “Hottest Record in the World Today” by The Inbetweeners on Zane Lowe’s show – 14.01.2010
