States of Emotion are four youthful, passionate, song writers, hell bent on providing a sound drenched in anthemic melody to unite the masses. With a compelling unity that has come from playing music together since the age of 14, these groove laden southern upstarts will be able to send shudders from the spit & sawdust venues of a city near you to the rapture of the most illustrious festivals. Set against an eerily optimistic backdrop, the Essex quartet thrive on a combination of melodic guitars, pounding skins and pulse raising vocals to produce a sound that’s ship set sail from English shores a long time ago. Creating a sound this unique, at a time when the British music scene is at its diverse best, can only represent a band with an unpredictable but explosive future.
