State Song works the three-piece dynamic to the fullest, utilizing the keyboard and sampler as accents and alleviating the need for a full-blown Rock configuration on stage. They thrive on luring listeners with their spacey melodies only to pummel them later with the wrath of stacks and raw power. The ebb and flow of their music combines late 1990’s era Indie/Alt-Rock, 1970’s Album Oriented Rock, and snarling Post Punk. For fans of Sunny Day Real Estate and the early work of Radiohead.
