After turning down Swishahouse
and relocation to San Marcos, Tx. 57 State had a bumpy ride ahead. Several
years and countless members later, 57 State has finally found itself a
solid lineup. With the addition of the seasoned rockers Cherry and Casper
on the strings, a whole new world of intense rocking has opened up for
the band. And now that G-Regular's long time friend Leary has signed on
to the permanent lineup behind the drums, the "Texas Rap/Rock Powerhouse"
is poised to explode onto the mainstream scene. With a roster of shows
that leaves them almost constantly travelling all over Texas, and even
into Mexico, 57 State is sharing the stage with some of the tope name
in both the rap and the rock scenes. (Vanilla Ice, Afroman, Burden Brothers,
and Paul Wall)
Their debut full length album "Rank & File", which features
a track with Swishahouse's underground superstar Paul Wall, has enjoyed
airtime on radio stations all across Texas and elsewhere. In fact, quite
a number of copies of the album have been sold in Japan, in addition to
the thousands sold here in the U.S. 57 State's upcoming full length sophomore
album entitled "Bang Streets" (also featuring a new track with
the not-so-underground-anymore Paul Wall) is highly anticipated to put
these numbers to shame. Houston's #1 rock station 94.5 The Buzz fequently
spins several of th tracks from their new release as well as many other
Texas rock and hip hop stations. 57 State is the future of the rock/hip
hop world. Are you ready for the future?
