"State of Being embodies music at its most dynamic, energetic, sophisticated and powerful - all at once. "Haywire," the group's third full-length studio CD, represents a level of proficiency that can only come from longevity. It's interesting that State of Being's first release ten years ago was titled "Dysfunctional Vision." SOB brainchild and lead singer Christopher Foldi has remained true to his original vision, while allowing it to evolve and mature.

With Andy Kubiszewski (ex-drummer of Stabbing Westward, The The, Prick) at the controls as producer of "Haywire," Foldi and bandmates have crafted a unique and accessible fusion of brooding vocals, ethereal keyboards, blistering guitars and a solid rhythm section.

Its no wonder that State of Being was voted Best Alternative/Electronic Act two years in a row (2004, 2005) by Scene Magazine, Cleveland's premier arts and entertainment weekly. And the band - which also includes Shara Foldi (keyboards, vocals), Scott Foldi (guitars, vocals), Rayanne Turek (bass, vocals), and Randy Blaire (drums) - continues to gain new fans and radio airplay throughout the U.S., Canada and as far away as Australia and Japan.

Critical Accl..

"impressively concocted mixing genres of riff-slaughtering metal guitars, EBM electronic pop and solid vocals, all mixed to perfection. State of Being has put out a fine CD". - Legends Magazine

"I was blown away by the opening title track, 'Haywire'play the 4th track, 'Whitespace,' real loud and feel the megacool synthesizer beat in your body - not to mention the awesome acoustic-based chorus. This is what I call hyperintelligent music!" - Melodic.net

"SOB have a formula that works - while not easy to place in any one camp...their style is open enough to appeal to the masses." - Hard Wired

State of Being has released three full-length CDs, several CD-EP's, (including dance floor re-mixes) and two music videos. SOB appears on several compilation CDs, including "Notes IV" (Invisible Records).

State of Being music can also be found on the soundtrack of the independent film, "Cemetery Days" (Head2Head productions) and the supernatural comedy-feature film, "So, You've Downloaded A Demon" (Accidental Films).

The band has performed in support of numerous national and international acts including, Billy Idol, Kill Hannah, Dope, Pigface, The Used, Thrill Kill Kult, Chemlab, Tapping the Vein, Sister Machine Gun, Gravity Kills, and The Church.
