   About INTERSTATE
Interstate are a five piece band from Pontypridd (South Wales) They have performed at many of the larger venues throughout the country including the prestigious Welsh Bike Shows at Builth Wells and Anglesey. They have also had the pleasure of playing with rock giants such as Glen Hughes (Deep Purple), Danny Vaughn (Tyketto), Budgie, Man and O/D Saxon.

In September 2007 they launched a fresh attack with a new line up. They Exploded onto the scene with their comeback gig at the Isle of Anglesey Biker Festival where they blew the crowd away with their unique mix of old school rock and new metal.

Since then they have played shows all over the country and been hailed as one of the best new rock acts in south Wales.

Interstate may be serious when it comes to their music, but they are not afraid to let their hair down (those who have some) when it comes to live performances. An INTERSTATE show is an experience or so legend has it...

The tracks Invisible, What lies beneath, The price of glory and Sorry ain't enuff were recorded at Sonic One Studio's and produced by Tim Hamil (Girlschool, Sheryl Crow)

The new tracks Break out and Quick Release were recorded at Nottin Pill studio's with Jeff And Ginge (Dub War/Skindred)

Recent reviews

PLUGGED IN

"Sounding like a mixture of Iron Maiden and Ronnie James Dio, with flawless drumming and face-melting guitar solos, they were an absolute joy to watch."

COFFE-SODA ENTERTAINMENT

"Without being carbon copies of everyone else, Interstate have found that classic metal sound. It's like that fuzzy warm feeling with a new twist! If words like "fuzzy" and "warm" can be used in conjunction with something this heavy..."

THE GUITARIST FEATURED ON THE ABOVE TRACKS INVISIBLE, WHAT LIES BENEATH, THE PRICE OF GLORY AND SORRY AIN'T ENUFF (MIKE EDWARDS) LEFT THE BAND IN 2007 DUE TO ILLNESS AND FAMILY COMMITMENTS. AFTER A LENGTHY SEARCH FOR A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT, JON POWELL (BREAKOUT & QUICK RELEASE) WAS SELECTED TO PICK UP THE BATTON TO HELP INTERSTATE MOVE FORWARD. INTERSTATE NOW HAVE CD'S AND T SHIRTS AVAILABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jon, good to hear from you! We're all good and things are going well thanks.

How are things with you guys? It certainly looks like you're going to be keeping busy! I see you've got a date booked at the Twist in colchester, it's a nice little venue, we've played there a few times before.

if you fancy a Norwich gig the night before that, you should try contacting the Brickmakers (http://www.thebrickmakers.com/) although they're usually really booked up, or maybe the Queen Charlotte (www.myspace.com/thequeencharlotte).

Take care,
James
