Young States Announce First Headline Shows

To celebrate the release of their debut EP ‘Down To You’ Norwich based four piece Young States have announced their first live shows.

To celebrate the release of their debut EP ‘Down To You‘  Norwich based four piece Young States have announced their first live shows. With two members having only just turned 18, Young States are a young band, aiming high.
Young States will be playing 2 shows, 29th October at The Black Heart in London and 30th October at The Waterfront, Norwich. Tickets are priced at just £5 (+ booking fee) and are available from https://www.musicglue.com/the-black-heart/events/29-oct-15-young-states-the-black-heart/ and https://thewaterfrontstudio.ticketabc.com/events/young-states-stars-o/

Formed at the end of 2014, the band met at Access To Music in Norwich. Libby was on a sound engineering course, the others on a music performance course. Amy got Young States together as she was bored of seeing male band after male band, and wanted to form an all female group. She approached the others in the corridors of college after seeing them carrying their instruments. With a love of Brand New, Arcane Roots and Mallory Knox, Young States quickly wrote and recorded their debut EP ‘Down to You‘.

Young States first single ‘No More‘ received TV play from Scuzz TV, as well as being name our Track of the Day on 21/10/2015.

Hi I'm Gareth, A foolish Welshman that has found himself living in Scotland. I adore live music and this all started back in University when a friend dragged me along to my first gig and I saw Travis. From then on I spent a lot of time going to see bands from rubbish uni bands that had formed one drunken night to the mighty Blur. When I finished uni there was a 10 year gap between gigs (long story). Now though, on any given day of the week I can be found in the venues of Glasgow. With regards to my music taste I love anything with great lyrics and heavy drums. When I was younger (and still am) I was obsessed with a band called Alisha's Attic.
When not at a gig I will be found at my computer playing games like Prison Architect, Hearthstone and Wolfenstein.
