States Of Nature Drop Debut Album “States Of Nature”

Hailing from the vibrant and eclectic music scene of Oakland, California, States of Nature have emerged as a post-punk force, blending raw rock ‘n roll power with introspective lyricism. The band, formed from diverse influences, takes inspiration from sources both local and abroad to create a sound that resonates with both urgency and contemplation. Injecting their own contemporary flair, States of Nature draw from sounds both familiar and new, implementing shouty yet memorable hooks and strong counterpointed movement to inspire a rock ‘n roll frenzy. Their captivating blend of danceable rhythms, poignant lyrics, and guitar focused swagger have earned their reputation as one of the Bay Area’s most refreshing and exciting acts. 

Hot on the heels of their well received EP collection, Songs to Sway, States of Nature have complied their best work to date on their debut full length, Brighter Than Before. The album effortlessly flows between post-punk powerhouse tracks like lead single, New Foundations, and upbeat singalongs like Papered News to create a record that captures the mood of the moment and invites you to participate in it. Lyrically speaking to a world in flux, the album highlights that when there’s so much uncertainty and sadness, you need the strength of those around you and belief in yourself, and a moment of fun to allow yourself to dream of a hopeful tomorrow. 

Fun, yet introspective, grounded, yet free, Brighter Than Before displays dramatic growth in songwriting, with hooks-a-plenty, and the right balance of fun and seriousness to keep the record interesting from beginning to end. Brighter Than Before is now available via Sell The Heart Records, Little Rocket Records and Epidemic Records.
