Band
Hey there! We're State Of Error, 4 piece punk/rock/alternative band from Halifax/Bradford in West Yorkshire. We've been around for a few years now and have in excess of 200 gig's under our belt, including appearances with 'My Passion', 'Stiff Little Fingers', 'Templeton Pek' and the 'UK Subs'. You must admit, that isn't too bad for an unsigned band! .
Thanks to our amazing friends and fans, we've had the opportunity to record and release an album. It's called Declaration of retreat and contains 10 fully original tracks, all written and performed by ourselves, with a little help from our good friend Sarah Carey! We have a reputation for being an energetic and exciting live band, but if you come to a gig, you can judge that for yourself!
We want 2011 to be an amazing year, but we need your help! If you like what you hear, please spread the word, we want our music to be exposed to as many people as possible. The more fans we have, the more places we can play and the better bands we can play with!
