Fist Bump is driven along by a bassline that sits somewhere between Post-Punk and Rockabilly. While the guitars snarl and seethe, emphasising the drone effect of the bass, the drum track is loud, syncopated and treated with dramatic resonant effects. The vocal reminds me of Franz Ferdinand jamming with Kurt Vile. Kind of electronic Alt Rock that makes highly impactful use of dynamic contrasts and grows in intensity before signing off more gently with a chord-based piano-only figure at the end. One you will surely want to listen to again if only to answer the question: What just happened?  (Neil March, Fresh On The Net Review, Jan 17th 2022)

Fist Bump

Veterans of many previous musical campaigns, State are a new Bristol based group of three multi-instrumentalists. Taking cues from influences as diverse as NIN, RATM, Senser, State effortlessly fuse searing guitar lines against electro-soaked vocals and drums. This new project seeks to challenge genres and provide the listener with experience that is both exciting and addictive.
State is the point on the map where soaring vocals, pounding drums and deep bass meet.
