A Primer On: State Radio
State Radio…
is a rock band formed by former Dispatch member Chad Urmston in 2002 after Dispatch announced their indefinite hiatus (after about two years on hiatus, the band announced a break-up and a final show).
The band had originally been called “Flag of the Shiners” after a group of peacekeeping 19th century pirates, before they changed their name to State Radio. Chad recorded and released one EP entitled “Flag of the Shiners”, before solidifying the rest of the band’s lineup and beginning to play shows. The band’s first full-length album, Us Against the Crown, was released on February 7, 2006, although it had been available online for several months before. With producer Tchad Blake they recorded their third album, “Year of the Crow”, which was released in September 2007. A CD single simply titled “Wicker Plane” was released on July 16. It contained the track “Wicker Plane” off the forthcoming album, and two b-sides: “Good Graces” and “Revolutionaries”. [ from Wikipedia ]
