Biting Other Blogs: State Champion
22 December 2009 in Biting Other Blogs, Blogroll, Music, Random, blah blah blah
Biting Other Blogs is an occasionally occurring feature that will direct your attention to a specific blog post or two that, most likely, I wish I had posted myself. Giving credit where credit is due, I typically wont blab too much, except to encourage you to get up on whatever blog I am highlighting…
I have really been digging the soon to be released (only on vinyl via Sophomore Lounge, home of previous Gobb Knob faves, Slithering Beast and Only Sons) new LP from State Champion (Official / Myspace), Stale Champagne. It’s raw energy and sparse production reminds me of a slightly more rocking War Elephant-era Deer Tick. There is some twang, but there’s lot of unadulterated garage rockin’ too. Here are a couple of blog posts that I stumbled upon which basically say anything that I would’ve said beyond what I have already said…
- Common Folk Meadow had no problems being un-folky…
- Front Porch Musings really felt the garage-alt-country vibes…
LISTEN: State Champion – “Help Me Sing”

thx for mentioning
happy christmas
My pleasure. I really do view my role as a blogger (other than satisfying my selfish need to be heard) as a guy who gets info out to the people that care enough about music to read blogs regularly…I love giving credit where credit is due, especially when I agree with the other blogger
