STATE CHAMPS IN CONCERT:
New York pop punkers State Champs have been rocking fans with their emotional songwriting and prize-worthy live performances since forming in 2010. They’ve toured with big names like All Time Low and 5 Seconds of Summer, and it’s easy to see why as they tear through adrenaline-filled anthems like “Remedy” and “Elevated” in concert. In addition to their hard-hitting songs, State Champs also have a softer side, and they’re just as impressive when frontman Derek DiScanio takes things down a notch to deliver tender tracks like “If I’m Lucky”. Whether they’re turning out distorted guitar feedback or waxing acoustic, State Champs always give ticket buyers a first-rate concert experience chock-full of heart-on-sleeve pop punk goodness.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
State Champs was formed in Albany, NY in 2010 by singer Derek DiScanio and guitarist Tyler Szalkowski. After assembling the rest of the band they released two EPs in late 2010/early 2011, and in 2012 they signed with California-based pop punk imprint Pure Noise Records. They made their debut on the label that same year with the 7" Overslept, which they recorded with producer Jay Maas (Defeater, Transit). After that release they began work on their full-length debut, which arrived in 2013 as the critically acclaimed effort The Finer Things. The album was a hit, peaking at No. 2 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums Chart and leading to extensive touring alongside bands like Motion City Soundtrack, Bayside, and The Wonder Years. Following stints on the 2014 Vans Warped Tour and the Pure Noise Records Tour, State Champs returned to the studio to record their second full-length album, a highly anticipated release that their loyal fans can’t wait to experience in concert.
amazing 100% recommend. i would go 100% again best concert i ever went to
first time seeing state champs, i went to see another band and hunny kinda disappointed me but state champs saved the whole night they had a great stage presence and i’ve been listening to them more after the show
Band and venue were great! Openers were highlights too!
The lead singer of the band I went to see was blasted and progressively drinking more onstage. Was funny though watching him fight the mic stand. It wasn't state champs btw.
Upon entering security made me throw away my little Swiss Army knife keychain, which was a bummer, but at least they allowed me to take my purse in! (Other venues have required that I check it in AND they charged me for it) State Champs was amazing! And the crowd was crazy!! I’ve been to a few other shows similar to this one but I’ve never seen so much crowd surfing in my life lol. I had two friends with me, who had only heard one song from the band, and they loved it and are ready for the next show. The energy & music - it was all great. My friends and I are so glad we went and can’t wait for the next show!! Hopefully they will come to ATLANTA next time!!
Everything about this experience was outstanding! Great venue with friendly staff. State Champs did not disappoint. I definitely recommend giving them a try if you haven’t seen them in concert yet!
I catch them every time they come to Arizona and it feels like every time the show gets better/more hype than before. This goes in the books as one of he funnest concerts I’ve ever been to!
They put on a amazing show . The bands that opened for them were damn good also !
It was my first concert and I am more than happy with how it turned out! The music was great, the performances were fantastic! Definitely makes me want to purchase tickets to another as soon as possible! It’s a night I will remember!
State Champs was amazing! They really know how to get the crowd riled up and always looking forward to the next song, hoping their set never ends. Not to mention the bands before them did a great job as well.
