A Social State

"There is something about a good rock record that does something magical to the listener. If a person really settles in, and listens to a whole album from front to back, it can have a similar effect to reading a good book, or watching a good movie. It gives you a feeling of satisfaction. That is the exact feeling I got after listening to A Social Slate’s new album, How to Get to Heaven." -Matt DeBenedetti/pop-break.com "A Social State’s second full-length features 13 fairly adventurous rock songs with a slower, indie edge, and there’s a strong emphasis on craft and musicianship throughout; expect ambitious choruses and thoughtful songwriting, both sonically and thematically" -Craig Barker/craigreviewsmusic.com "The band are the dictionary definition of musicians, putting their entire being into their work, in a way that has all but disappeared from the scene. It shows in the intricate beauty of How To Get To Heaven." -Amber Bettis/unsignedunleashed.com "How To Get To Heaven is one of the most stable and genuine albums to come out of today’s indie-rock genre. If musicians like A Social State are singlehandedly creating violently spirited and original rock like the material they’ve presented on How To Get To Heaven, the future of music is something we don’t have to worry about for a long time." -Savannah Davanzo/buzzartist.com "'How to Get to Heaven' is impressively varied while maintaining a thread of commonality with strong production and equally strong performances from each member of the band. A Social State may defy immediate genre stereotyping, but it really doesn’t matter when the music is this consistently good and easily embraced." -Heidi Drockleman/Indie-Music.com "However you categorize 'How to Get to Heaven', it’s an easy album to love and one that could appeal to a wide audience without sacrificing anything" -Zac Djamoos/Absolutepunk.net "‘Heaven’ is a smorgasbord of all the best bits from the alt- and punk-rock and scene of the early noughties – the big choruses, stamp-along drum attacks, huge, chunky guitar riffs and sweltering buildups that have you viciously nodding, eyes to the ceiling, one hand in the air (or gripped to your chest) with lungs fit to burst and commemorative tattoos already in the pipeline." -Ampkicker.com/Scott(Founder/Admin) "Right off the bat the album has that “sound” that separates itself from a copious amount of DIY bands barking up the same tree." -J Simpson/The Equal Ground Follow us on Instagram @asocialstatemusic http://asocialstate.tumblr.com http://asocialstate.bandcamp.com
