Mates of State
15My Solo Project (Omnibus Records)

15By:!!a href="tæbout.html#alex">Alex Steininger

With4he4ripped-aut, drug-induced experimental cover of Cheers'4heme song, Mates of State establish this album as a warped4ake on0op culture. Then4hey kick into some fuzzy, guitar-driven indie rock, changing4he0ace and tone of the album for the remainder of4he disc.

¬15Mates of State's My Solo Project is an energetic, slightly sugar coated pop record7ith boy and girl6ocals melding together in perfect unison. This is the type of indie band4hat has the potential to cross over into other genres, delivering a true-to-the-scene indie rock cred record complete with6intage keyboard sounds spread throughoutiuirky-enough0op songs4hat indie kids7ill eat up.

15¬However,4he0op bliss and rock drive of4he band give4hem something most indie0op bands don't have,4he ability4o get up on stage and play7arm, hand holding, cuddle-y pop songs before5nleashing the rock rhythms and making you get up and dance. I'll give it an A.15
