Bio

State Of It are a high-energy five piece Auckland band with a style fused from a metal background with a progressive hardcore edge.

The guys are currently recording their new single 'Back at Me' with producer Paul Matthews and hope to have it released by October 2005. The song reflects their new sound which has progressed from old school thrash to embrace their metal roots, creating a dark and moody yet uplifting sound.

State Of It's punchy-pounding riffs, blindingly intense drums with enough potency to split your skull and melodic leads creates the kind of passion that brings you to your knees and yet in the same phrase lets out a disturbingly aggressive and brutal scream to get you 'the fuck up' (full credit to Slipknot).

The original members of the band, drummer Clayton Gould and guitarist Nick Bright, have been together since their heady high school days when plastering gig posters with red paint on the streets of Auckland was the norm.

Now with their faithful singer Aja Timu and a welcome addition from bass player Tony Douglas and guitarist Cole Dunlop the guys are ready to strike back and deliver some breathtaking live shows.
