State Radio

great band - seen them a few times


their set at moe.down last year was ragin' - not many daytime bands play encores there, but their set demanded one and we got it!

One of my Top 3...and I only discovered them last week. Very excited to see them live.

different from dispatch, but you can see the influence, much more into hard rocking or reggae poiltical stuff

there are defintiely times during their shows where they have a ratm-like sound

theyve been my favorite bands for the last 2 years, and surpisingly, i've never seen them live.
us against the crown is also one of my favorite cds EVER and if they bring it live like dispatch did in the garden last summer i think we're all in for a treat

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!! State Radio is my new favorite band for like the last 6 months. A little late night SR action is exactly what I need. I'm happy they are playing on Thursday night, too. Hopefully their show won't be to crowded and I can just wiggle up to the barracade.

I want to hear Camilo the most probably. But my other favorite songs (for those of you who want to download some to get the flavor) are Man in the Hall, Diner Song, People to People, Fall of the American Empire and Sudan. I'm so happy someone started this thread!

By the way, if you just wanna go out and buy an album, Us Against the Crown is definitely the way to go to get into them. Listen to it twice though. Straight through. When I first heard it, I though "Yeah, its good but my friend REALLY made a big deal about it" Then the second time through I was like "Damn that's good chicken!"

Yeah State Radio is sick. They are great live, so much energy. They have a lot on archive, this 9:30 club recordings is one of my favorites... www.archive.org/details/sr2007-10-06.mbhoka500hn.sbd.flac16

Time Served (only Dispatch song they might play)-

Revolutionaries-

Diner Song-

YES!!! I started listening to SR about a week ago while going through and downloading some of the bands I've never listened to who'll be playing the 'roo. They are awesome. This is one show that I'll definitely be at. I like Wicker Plane, Barn Storming, CIA, and Sudan.

i'm pretty sure i've seen them playing "The General" on some youtube videos, come to think of it "The General" is the only song i see of dispatch's on youtube for the most part which sorta sucks because though its a good song, its not their best imo.

My buddy, whom I must say is a musical knowledge genius, came in the other day while I was playing some SR and asked like 5 times if I was sure what was on wasn't Dispatch. They definitely have that sound.

there ya go!!! that oughta get u started!
