The Albany, New York Pop-Punk based band State Champs took to social media this morning the announcement of their self-tittle fifth studio LP which will be released November 8th later this year.
After touring last year with acts like BOYS LIKE GIRLS, 30H!3, The Ready Set & The Summer Set alongside a remix of previously released BLG single, "THE OUTSIDE - OUTSIDERS VERSION" the guys are back in full swing with two new singles for their upcoming record, State Champs.
Leading the release with a video that made our weekly video spotlight, "Silver Cloud" is a track that seems like a return to the sweet spot of 2013 and 2015 which is now a decade ago.
Following up the high energy track, "Too Late to Say" brings the emotion with cutting lyrics, catchy hooks and punchy riff's. Pop Punk fans can draw some nostalgia from drumming styles such as Blink-182 and their Self-Titled work released in 2003. That might sound like a bold view from myself as a listener of both, yet somehow feels right looking at the impact of a State Champs record like The Finer Thing in 2013.
With their third record, Around the World and Back released in 2015, this was a pivotal time for the genre. From Neck Deep releasing cult classic "Life's Not Out To Get You", The self-titled record from The Story So Far with pillar songs such as "Nerve" & Heavy Gloom, then the highly regarded record from Knuckle Puck, "Copacetic".
With the two brand new songs from the band and another 10 on the way, there is still a lot more unfolding to look forward to until the release of "State Champs" on Friday, November 8th. One of the other exciting things to look forward towards besides all the beautiful vinyl variants & merch packages is the North America Tour Dates with Knuckle Puck, Meet Me at the Alter & Daisy Grenade.
This run of shows will kick off on the release date of the new album in Austin, TX and end December 7th in New York at the legendary Webster Hall. Tickets are now on sale on the State Champs website as well as all the new album necessities.
