New York pop-punkers State Champs recently released their new EP, The Acoustic Things, making it their third release via label Pure Noise Records. The EP is a selection of five acoustic tracks previously featured on their debut full-length, The Finer Things, and two new songs, giving the right combination of both old and new favourites.
“Elevated” is the first track on the EP. The original version of the song was the lead single off of the band The Finer Things and is one of the ones that defines their sound. Nevertheless, this new version doesn’t fail to deliver, even with the high expectations surrounding it. It starts off the EP perfectly, with the guitar parts really showing through and frontman Derek DiScanio’s vocals finally being showcased.
It looks like Northlane have found a new vocalist! While we virtually nothing about him, we do know his name is Will Putney. On top of that, they’ve announced they’ll be recording their first single with him, which is set to be released on November 21st. You can read their full statement below.
