About
A well-crafted rock sound and powerful live shows have gained Atlanta-based rock band State of Man a reputation for being "one of the East coasts premier acts".
The band's music combines driving guitars, soulful vocals, and syncopated bass and drums, resulting in a sound described by Kings of A&R.com as “powerful, yet soulful modern rock alternative music”.
Their first full-length debut CD, Lose Your Mind gained the attention of Atlanta platinum producer Rick Beato and multi-platinum, Grammy award winning producer Don McCollister, who each recorded tracks for their EP, "More Than Coincidence", the band's maxi-single "Swallow Your Fears" reached the top 10 of the Billboard Singles Sales Chart, June 24 issue, and charted for 8 consecutive weeks and the band's new full length album, Both Sides of the Story.
The strength of the band’s live show has lead to a healthy domestic and international touring schedule, and a reputation for being "One of the best live bands in the Southeast… period". Performing at venues and festivals internationally and across the US with such artists as Live, Kid Rock, Stone Temple Pilots, No Doubt, Train, Shinedown, Hoobastank, Puddle of Mudd, and Pink.
