State Champs release new song ’10 AM’

STATE CHAMPS have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled 10 AM, is taken from the New York-based pop-punk band’s upcoming new EP, State Champs Unplugged, which is scheduled to be released in August this year.

Speaking about the new song, frontman Derek DiScanio says, 10 AM might be the most experimental song we’ve written and recorded. However, it stemmed from a simple idea to have a mellow, acoustic, feel-good vibe, and mix it with lyrical frustration about questioning your worth in a relationship and unrequited love. We were able to bring in some unique electronic elements in post production to top everything off and we’re excited to see what everyone thinks of the final product.”

Continuing to talk about the EP, DiScanio adds, “the Unplugged EP is special for us for many reasons, one main reason being the writing process. We feel like we really went back to our roots, you know, just the band, in a room with an acoustic guitar, writing songs and having fun. We tend to execute our best material in an environment that is stress free and organic. Our fans have been asking for new acoustic, stripped down material for quite some time, we’re happy to say it’s here.”

State Champs Unplugged is set for release on August 14th via Pure Noise Records.
