Artist Highlight: State Radio

I've been listening to a playlist I made from freshman year all day today, kind of thinking back on my first year in school. The playlist was on random and the acoustic live version of this State Radio song came on:

"Mr. Larkin" by State Radio


State Radio is a Boston based trio (see video below)
there used to be a version of the song over a Red Sox montage which was badass, but it got removed from youtube cause it violated MLB copyright laws.... relax Bud Selig

Bud Selig - Commissioner of Major League Baseball 
 (PS - I'm sure Bud Selig had nothing to do with removing this video from youtube, I just needed a scapegoat) 

"Knights of Bostonia" by State Radio























According to wikipedia, State Radio "Infuses a blend of Roots-Reggae, Ska, Punk and Rock". This last song I think exemplifies this fusion best, and is also one of my favorites by the group:

"Right Me Up" by State Radio
