State

About

"You Shouldn't Stare" recorded at Bloomington's Russian Recording, is an expressive and full-sounding album, a breathless run through a neurotic Hoosier playground full of broken glass, guitars, and nicotine-drenched vocals."
-- Jeff Napier (Nuvo)

"The pseudo Americana-punk of 'Heart Attack' demands multiple listens, and then something snaps in the band as 'The Model' and 'Carousel' are unruly attacks. I instantly fell for both of these songs and State has the ability to roar with the loudest hardcore band if they chose to do so."
-- Richard Quinlan (www.jerseybeat.com)

"The band mixes austere choral arrangements, western Americana, and chunks of chamber music with Queens of the Stone Age-style bombast, Faith No More's cheekiness and the raw urgency of punk."
-- Neal Taflinger (indy.com)

"You Shouldn't Stare takes State fans on a bipolar emotional roller-coaster. The album is impressively everywhere at once. From hardcore to swing to acoustic folk ballads, listeners enjoy a modern rock joy ride held together by the gloomy mood the songs put forth and anticipation of what they might hear next."
-- Phil Graybiel (philgraybiel.com)
