"…the superb debut from the mysteriously-named State Shirt… Think ‘The Bends’-era Radiohead with the maverick touches of Beck thrown in for good measure."

"…this impressive release no doubt will dominate CMJ in time. If not, they’re just a bunch of corporate whores who couldn’t tell good music from a hole in the ground."

"…this is an album which, like much of the work of Beck, can change mood at the drop of a hat. State Shirt employs anything he can lay his hands on when it comes to making his music and we are greeted throughout the record by dogs barking, beat boxing, scratching and much more all utilised effectively and held together by lilting guitars and an often quite effecting vocal performance."

Check the cool article about State Shirt and Line 6. Very cool to see Line 6 supporting independent music.

:: Line 6 and State Shirt

a bunch of quotes about me that have appeared on Songfight.org over the years. Aw, shucks!

"Yes, there is something more beautiful than impossibility… State Shirt."

"A new State Shirt entry is like a new Hayao Miyazaki film – I don’t have to worry that it might not be up to snuff. "

"You grabbed the track by the neck and started twisting. Very cool. "

"You fucking rule, as always… this is entirely brilliant."

"It always amazes me when I hear this guy’s voice. He and Baron from Kissing Contest have the gift of good genetics or something. "

"You guys fucking rock. ROCK FUCKING STEADY. THAT’S RIGHT. SO YOU SHALL CONTINUE TO ROCK UNTIL THE ROCKING HAS CEASED. Anyway, sleep well, good work, I’ll most likely kill you in the morning."

"Damn, State! You just keep rocking the kazbah."

"I continue to defy the State Shirt musical superweapon"

“None of them can hold a candle to you…. I can’t pay tribute to your awesomeness, so I will say that I would bear your children if I had a uterus.”

"There’s nothing I hate more that jumping on the bandwagon, but OMG WTF!!!! That State Shirt song is freakin’ awwwwsome!!! "

"I’m listening to State Shirt’s ‘New Planet’ right now, which has some awesome beatboxing on it. I love it."
