SYMPATHY STATE

Sympathy State are a four piece band formed in the Summer of 2007. Their sound can best be described as mixing razor sharp rhythms with atmospheric and melodic sounds.

Influences are taken from a variety of artists including And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, Interpol, Mars Volta, The Cure and early U2.

They have been a featured artist on XFM and have drawn many positive reviews from various magazines and publications of both their recorded material and energetic live shows. Unfortunately, it is now time for them to take a pre-determined Hiatus as each members of Sympathy State have different priorities.



Thanks to all in whom supported us!!.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING



"The music is meticulously

written and performed, it's

lush sounding, awash with

fine guitar riffs and a sharp

rhythm section. Add to this

one of the bands biggest

attribute, Stuart Bruce's

vocals which are consistently

brilliant in all the tracks

available to listen to on

their page. 'Sympathy' is

a stormer, driven forward

by pulsing drums and

sharp guitars that stab

right into the heart of the

track. 'Control' is Sympathy

State's gem, an indie pop

tour de force that brings all

the elements that make the

band so brilliant together

into one song"

“Sympathy State were

fantastic, an incredibly tight

band who have tunes that

most bands would chew

their left hand off to own.

Final track 'Control' steals

the show, an indie pop

golden nugget that is

complemented so well by

Stuart Bruces brilliant vocals.

This band have been kicking

about for a shade under

THREE MONTHS! how is that

possible? Makes you wonder

where they'll be in three more.”

"Very keen to see these

fellows live. They do indie

that is a little bit exciting,

a little bit dancey. Although

a flicky dance, a little bit

like the one you'd do to "My

Sharona", but a bit faster.

The chap has a great voice

too: very strong and very

interesting."

"I was immediately taken by

"Bright Lights", it can only be

described as a quirky drum

beat, which is then infused

with a cool twanging guitar.

To be honest nothing could

prepare me for the beauty

of the voice which then

came in to the music."
