State Champs

STATE CHAMPS: State Champs surges with the energy of The Finer Things (2013), Around the World and Back (2015), and Living Proof (2018). It expands on the Kings of the New Age (2022) blueprint. That beloved post-pandemic album proved the band will survive. State Champs now sees them thrive. Songs like "Silver Cloud," "Clueless," "Sobering," "Tight Grip," "I Still Want To," and "Golden Years" explode with high-energy, passionate, and smartly constructed precision. While big, bold, and slick, the production nevertheless sounds like a band in a room together or decimating the stage. "We found our way, through the ups and downs within us, personally and as a band, and wanted to express that," explains frontman Derek DiScanio. "This is the right time to showcase it." Bassist Ryan Scott Graham agrees. "When we stepped back and looked at the songs, sonically and thematically, it's a great vision of who we are. Every era of State Champs exists within this record.
