New album coming Oct. 18th - watch for it!
States is based in… the States… more specifically: Nashville, TN. They formed in 2010 after Mindy White left her previous band, Lydia. Backtracking to 2009, the band Copeland - who's albums & songs made it into Billboard's charts on multiple occasions & with whom the band Lydia had toured with before - broke up (not a 'bitter break up', by any means). The result was guitarist Stephen Laurenson, guitarist/pianist Bryan Laurenson, drummer Jonathan Bucklew - all from Copeland - & Dean Lorenz joining with Mindy White (voc's) to form States*. On Oct. 12th, 2010, they independently released their "Line 'Em Up" EP, & on Oct. 18th, 2011, they are releasing the full-length "Room to Run"; &, to my knowledge, they worked with acclaimed producer Aaron Sprinkle (Thousand Foot Krutch; Anberlin; Poema; The Almost; …) for the album. This song is from "Room to Run".
* - I can't find what all their specific jobs are in States, but there is 3 key members (Stephen, Bryan & Mindy) - I suspect the others are more for tours (as they are listed on their Facebook page)…..?
Also, if you wish, you can go to their website & go through their news posts (clikc "Previous Entry") until you find the one from Dec. 24th, 2010, & you can download (for free of course) an acoustic version of "Another Chapter" from their EP "Line 'Em Up".
