Mates Of State

Mates Of State is an indie rock band hailing from Stratford, Connecticut, USA. Formed in 1997 in Lawrence, Kansas, the duo of Kori (organ, vox) and Jason (drums, vox) made their mark on the music scene with their unique sound. After leaving their day jobs as a teacher and cancer researcher in 2001, they took the plunge into full-time music and even tied the knot. With their captivating performances and heartfelt lyrics, Mates Of State have become a force to be reckoned with.

Known for their infectious melodies and harmonies, Mates Of State have carved out a niche for themselves within the indie rock genre. Drawing inspiration from various musical influences, including The Submarines and Tilly And The Wall among others (*The Submarines*, *Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin*, *Tilly And The Wall*), they have created a distinct sound that resonates with fans around the world.

Having relocated multiple times throughout their career - from Lawrence to San Francisco and eventually settling in East Haven - Mates Of State's journey has been one of constant evolution. Their dedication to creating meaningful music has earned them a devoted fanbase who eagerly await each new release (*Mates Of State*).
