Born in London, raised in Dublin, the band have benefited from the resurgence in the capital's club scene - although they're as far from your average grim dance night out as possible. Fronted by [...]
State has had to get in training for 2009's Hard Working Class Heroes festival. The annual Dublin binge-gigging session, with Temple Bar as its linchpin, necessarily involves regular jogs, and sometimes sprints, across the Liffey and Dame Street, lest some bright, desperate-to-impress new light of the Irish music scene be cruelly missed by punters and media.

Without an overseas 'invasion' this year (previous [...]
