New State Radio were a political rock band from Newport, South Wales. For the 3 years between 2006 and 2009, we played a powerful, passionate live set around the UK, and finished our time together with an incredible tour of France will will never be forgotten.
We thank everyone who suppported us, saw us, heard us and encouraged us. We've made so many friends along the way and take you all with us. We are so proud to have stuck to our principals, even where this may have held us back from bigger things. We have consistently spoken out against the Iraq War, one of our highlights being the Stop The War benefit gig we organised in 2007. We have also been proud to support Love Music, Hate Racism in opposition to the scurge of the BNP. In short, we stood for human rights and the value of an equal society above nations, religions and corporations, and we remain unwavering in this view.
Thanks again. Viva, NSR

We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.
Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.

Thanks for the invite to the gig, I really enjoyed it, it was a nice venue too, although I can't say I thought much of the first band :P a bit too egotisitcal for my liking.
