In support of their EP “Naïve”, Brisbane based band “Stateside” is getting ready to hit the road and showcase what they do best … Rocking in a tour that will see the band perform in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. This five-piece alternative rock band fronted by Erin Reus on lead vocals, with Ethan Laenen (lead guitar), Brendan Heidke (rhythm guitar), Jackson Lehane (bass guitar), and Hamish Maguire (drums) are ready to share what has been described as a uniquely original sound that takes influence from all genres of music. The EP is a collection of songs from the band members combined personal experiences in life. Their music is built from their own stories of love, heartbreak, pain, and friendship… Combining that with Reus’ powerful vocals, fresh guitar guitar riffs, loud drums, and you end up with their take on alternative rock.
Erin said that singing with Stateside is “the ultimate rush, being able to connect with the people who support us at live shows is nothing short of amazing”. Hamish added that after a few years together “we really started focusing on who we were as musicians which has led to some unreal song writing”. Brendan went on to explain that after the successful release of Naïve and the massively successful single “The Way We Are” (video plays alone approaching 750k) that everything just felt right. Jackson added, “There’s nothing manufactured about Stateside, what you see is what you get.” It should be noted that Stateside just signed an international management deal with US based Ascend Media Group, LLC. “It’s been quite a while since we’ve been this excited about a new client. Stateside has talent on a level that’s seldom seen, 2018 is Stateside’s year for the taking.” Ascend Media Group VP of Client Services Drew Gallagher commented.
