Rogue States release debut single ‘Lights’ on 8th March
A band shaped by experience, classic pop and restless minds, Rogue States arrive uniquely accomplished; a breakthrough act with a debut EP fit to rival any “third album classic” you care to mention. The Birmingham four piece (David Wright, Michael Clarke, Steve Clarke, Stuart Baxter Wilkinson) supported Razorlight on their March 2009 UK tour, forming a close friendship with then drummer Andy Burrows in particular who subsequently paid for the recording of the band’s debut EP.
A quietly monumental collection of extremes: tenderly intimate and shudderingly epic, a calming respite and rousing call to arms, the lonely ache of doubt and the surging joy of a crowd pleasing anthem. From the lightness of Surrender’s questioning to the reinvigorating groundswell of Lights; from Faultline’s powerful whisper to Kings Of The Ghost Town Mile’s rallying cry.
The Lights EP will be available worldwide from iTunes on 8th March 2010.
