State Radio
Recommended by: Catherine Lee
When Disparetch announced their indefinate haitus in 2002, guitarist Chad Urmston decided to form his own band, State Radio. Early 2006, the band released their first fill-length album, Us Against the Crown.
"State Radio's songs, written by Chad, are primarily a mixture of roots reggae and rock interspersed with more somber, low-key numbers. Of the thirty-nine songs Chad penned for State Radio, one can expect to hear any of thirty (the number performed with Mike Najarian on the drum kit) at a live show. In addition to these, Dispatch's "Time Served", "Just like Larry" and parts of "Cut it ya Match it" have recently become State Radio staples."
