While of course, I couldn't be happier when bringing records by the essential Legless artists across the ocean for your listening pleasure, it's a deep down special kind of joy to introduce you to a new artist on the Legless roster, especially when it's one like this new band!  The States (Australia) sound like cranking down the car window on the first day of spring, rocking like it's Saturday nite...clap your hands, stomp your sneakers and get on board...don't miss this train to a town called good time rock n roll.  Cherry bomb summertime fun.  I want to kiss each and every one these songs right on the lips, pick me up and take me away.  This band is gonna give you some of the kicks and joy you need so bad!   This is lipsmacker punk rock n roll.  This band is the cream of crop! -- winch 

The States fuse 60s rock n roll and glam rock, laced with licks of doo wop and girl group, to breathe an electrifying new sound into Melbourne music. Bolts of T-Rex and Suzi Quatro thunder off the stage and strike your chest as the four-piece ignite their stage with their powerful hooks, attitude filled solos and wall shaking rhythms. Releasing their single Carol earlier this year they’ve been turning heads with the anticipation of an upcoming album ‘Gimme Joy’. Without a lick of pastiche, The States are exactly what you need. 

Forming over Summer in ‘22/23, The States are Scarlett Maloney (Tuffy, Delivery) on lead vocals and guitar, Joe Imfeld (The Prize) on lead guitar, Paddy Leahy on bass, and Georgie Harkin on drums and backing vocals. 

Upcoming debut album ‘Gimme Joy’ to be released through Legless Records. Recorded in Fairfield over two days by Matt Blach, mixed by Matt Harkin and mastered by David Forcier.
