State Radio is a Boston-based band whose latest album (“Let It Go”) can be divided roughly into two sorts of songs. One is the ska/reggae kind while the rest of the tracks on here are straight-up alternative rock. No wait, that’s not entirely true because “Blood Escaping Man” sees ska being mixed up with some alt-country flavours. Which could’ve very well ended up sounding like shit but it actually works wonders for the band.
I just wish I could say the same for the rest of the songs on here but other than for the occasional hit (“Mansin Humanity”, “Knights Of Bostonia”), the songs on here are stretched out a little too long and miss that something extra that makes a song memorable. They get really close all the time but somehow things just don’t click for me… better luck next time!
Score: 6 out of 10
