A bit new wave, a touch garage, a slurp of New York punk, some raw talent and a swagger that oozes out of the speakers - Think Velvet Underground being pick pocketed by the Cure and slamming into Bloc Party in an alley...and you are halfway there. Since forming in late 2007 Three piece Art Of The State have wasted no time brandishing their sounds around their hometown of Brisbane. From the groups first show three weeks after formation to recording and producing their debut release in March 2008 "Crome Yellow/Midnight Fashion" Eleanor, Alex & Grant have established themselves as one of the most dynamic and exciting three piece bands out of the amazing river city that is Brisbane.
