- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
The States's razor-edged rock has the uncanny ability to evoke Radiohead-like
dreamscapes, Zeppelin-inspired bombast, and an Orwellian political
sensibility...often in the same song. Their forthcoming new album, produced
by Chris Grainger (Wilco, Switchfoot), is both intimate and grandiose, at
home equally in an echoing arena and in your own headphones.
The band's inventive songwriting has earned accolades from the John Lennon
Songwriting Contest (Grand Prize Winners) and the International Songwriting
Contest (Winners), and it has been featured on MTV's "The Hills" and "The
Real World," and ESPN's "Baseball Tonight." Q104.3's Jonathan Clarke recently
included The States in his list of the Top 10 New York bands.
Behind the music is an unconventional lineup: a Harvard-educated
singer/guitarist (Chris Snyder), a punk/acid-jazz/prog-influenced drummer
(Joe Stroll), and a sonic experimentalist bassist armed with an arsenal of
fuzz pedals (Pete Connors).
