State Champs

About

State Champs aren't just another pop-punk band churning out anthems; they're architects of nostalgia, meticulously crafting sonic time capsules filled with youthful angst and unwavering optimism. Hailing from Albany, New York, the quintet built their foundation on the frenetic energy of early 2000s pop-punk stalwarts like New Found Glory and blink-182, injecting a healthy dose of contemporary sheen and lyrical vulnerability. Their ascent began with relentless touring and a series of independent releases that quickly garnered a devoted following. The breakthrough came with albums like "The Finer Things" and "Around the World and Back," which showcased their knack for infectious hooks and emotionally resonant songwriting. State Champs transcends simple genre trappings by showcasing their raw passion and relatable storytelling. They avoid preachy attitudes, focusing on universal themes of friendship, heartache, and the awkward transition to adulthood. Their ability to resonate with a generation navigating these complexities has cemented their status as leaders in the modern pop-punk landscape. Collaborations with artists like Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low attest to their widespread influence. Constantly evolving their sound while remaining true to their core values, State Champs continue to tour extensively and are anticipated to announce new music soon.
