STATE RADIO
YEAR OF THE CROW--the follow-up to their 2006 debut Us Against The Crown--is due out February 5.
STATE RADIO will return to the road February 22 in support of the release of their new album YEAR OF THE CROW. Marking a partnership between STATE RADIO's own Ruff Shod label and Nettwerk
The Boston-based trio will appear on NPR's popular "Day To Day" program for an interview and acoustic performance during the week of release. The forthcoming dates follow the musically inventive and socio-politically conscious trio's recent Australian shows with Beautiful Girls, with whom STATE RADIO--CHAD STOKES(singer/guitarist), CHUCK FAY (bass) and MIKE "MAD DOG" NAJARIAN(drums)--toured the U.S. last fall.
The group will also bring their dynamic live show to the Langerado Music Festival March 8 at the Big Cypress Seminole Reservation, where they'll join R.E.M., the Beastie Boys, G. Love & Special Sauce, The Wailers, Citizen Cope and many others.
STATE RADIO's leadsinger/guitarist CHAD STOKES has proved to be a unique fixture whodefies music industry traditions. CHAD will hit the studio this month in Boston to score the soundtrack for the TV series he's developed called "How's Your News?" The series is based on the original acclaimed HBO/Cinemax docu-feature film of the same name which was backed by Matt Stone and Trey Parker of "South Park" fame. "How's Your News?"--which features five reporters all living with a disability, who travel the U.S. in a camper van interviewing people they meet along the way--will debut on MTV in the coming months: www.howsyournews.com.
STATE RADIO recently completed the video for their first single, the blues-thumping "Gang of Thieves," which can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvm3FqtrmJw. The group is currently lensing a video for "Rash of Robberies" with the animator Sam White,the visual artist team Tape Art (tapeart.com) and the Trummerkind collective (trummerkind.com) who famously built a full one-bedroom apartment inside the Providence Place Mall and lived there for four years without being detected.

Part 1" will be featured on Paste magazine's "Paste Recommends" compilation in the magazine's spring sampler.
