States - Room To Run

On June 19th Tooth and Nail will re-release States' debut record "Room to Run." It was great news to hear that Tooth and Nail picked up States and was going to give people a chance to hear Room to Run.  States features former members of Copeland, Dension Marrs, The Dark Romantics, and Lydia. Room to Run is female fronted indie pop perfection.

I don't think it's a stretch to say that fans of Denali, Blondie, and Carly Rae Jepsen will enjoy Room to Run. Yep, you read that right. The songs are groove laden with danceable beats and great hooks that get you moving and get stuck in your head.

Timebomb starts the record off strong. Great distorted, driving bass riff that gives way to a strong melodic hook. From that point on, the record doesn't stop hitting strong. Captivating Me is a sweet song while Right or Not is a dirty dark dance track. Everlasting has similar danceable notes but strikes more on the pop side than new wave. Each new track just as catchy, just as solid as the one before it.

I predict big things in States' future. Room to Run is a lot of fun and a great pop record. Tooth and Nail will help this band reach new levels.
