STATES AND EMPIRES release free single "SUICIDE" on APRIL 14thSTATES AND EMPIRES Band:
Many were sad to see Welsh band Attack! Attack! split in early 2013, but Neil Starr and Will Davies wasted no time in forming States and Empires with Evita drummer Johno Fisher. A 4 track EP, "Giants" was released last year to critical acclaim and rapidly sold out of its initial pressing as well as racking up impressive digital sales in both Europe and the UK. "Completely new and fresh....you have to check this band out. You will not be disappointed" - New Transmission "An essential new threepiece you just have to hear" - Uberrock "Lots of catchy choruses and sweet guitar hooks" - GetYourRockOut Influenced by early 90s grunge, States and Empires manage to seamlessly blend instantly memorable, melodic hooks with pummelling drums and massive guitar riffs that have the capacity to pack as much of a punch in an arena as they do in a club. It's incredible to think that three people can create such a powerful sound. The band's blistering live performances have already created a huge buzz across mainland Europe with the band racking up over 50 live gigs by early 2014, including 2 sold-out tours with Californian pop-punks Zebrahead. Their German fanbase in particular is gaining momentum and has earned them a place on John Coffey's tour at the end of April. The band precede this with a handful of UK headline shows. Tour dates: April (Supporting John Coffey) May States And Empires' forthcoming debut album was recorded in Cardiff and the infinitely sunnier Florida and has been produced by Stuart Richardson (Funeral For A Friend, Attack! Attack!). It is due for release in 2014 and will feature artwork by renowned Welsh artist Richard J Oliver. States And Empires have achieved so much in their first year, it is clear that 2014 is just the start of a career conquering the UK, Europe and beyond. "Suicide" is released on April 14th and is available as a free download. Notes to Editors Please contact: April 11, 2014 8:30am ET by Fifteenthree |
