Children of the State are a 5 piece band from the north of England. Inspired by the fuzz of Hendrix, 50's melodies and the groove of T-Rex.

The music is mostly on the YouTube channel - occasionally it has found its way onto BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Orbit, BBC Radio  Nottingham, BBC Radio Derby & BBC Radio Leicester

"Killer groove" & "irresistible jam" Tom Robinson (legendary songwriter, musician & BBC Radio 6 Music broadcaster)

"Heady stuff; an intoxicating international groove" Adam Walton (musician and BBC Radio Wales presenter)

“Banging beat”  Dipesh Parmar (President - Ministry of Sound Records)

“Super unique!”  Jaguar (Broadcaster, Journalist & DJ BBC Radio One & Mixmag )

“Gritty and authentic...makes me want to hear more” Emerald Rose Lewis (DJ & Presenter @ BBC Radio 1Xtra & Rinse FM)

"Dystopian Psychedelic Jazz" Lyonsy (host of SLE Radio's Punk and Indie Show & Asonica Radio)

“Nice down tempo vibes” Steven Braines  (co-founder of HE.SHE.THEY. collective)

Music played on Johnny (Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs) Hedley's Base Frequencies; Asonica Radio: SLE Punk & Indie Show; The Psychedelic Jukebox; In The Moog; etc

And very proud to have been the very first track on Signal Committee’s Eclectic Picks at Fresh On The Net – plus other triumphant returns! 

Reviewed as a Fresh Fave at Fresh On The Net five times -- "The Permissive Footpath Society" & "Weird? No!" & "Parasite Lost" & "Profane Disco" & also our sonic collaboration with The Gorstey Lea Street Choir: "The Dragons of Mont Blanc"

A small amount of chaos is now on Twitter  (although the rancid horror of that place under the repellent owner will force a relocation, with BlueSky looking the most likely...)

We got thrown off TikTok because the 52 second runtime of our track Big Band Theory was quite correctly perceived as being of 'prog-rock dinosaur proportions'; chastened by this, we are now here instead.

For all things music.
