The Domino State



The Domino State make “brooding, intense music that knocks spots off much of the competition” (The Independent). On August 16th, they release their hotly anticipated debut album Uneasy Lies the Crown, recorded late 2009/early 2010 at Treacle Studios, East London and produced by Joe Adams (Radio Academy award winner 2010 - best live music producer).



Uneasy Lies the Crown will be officially launched by the band on August 13th with a special free in-store show at Rough Trade East, who will be exclusively stocking advance copies of the album. This will be combined with a short UK tour, with shows in Manchester, Nottingham and Bristol.



The album release comes after numerous prestigious support slots including the O2 Arena with Coldplay and tours with M83 and Longview, as well as festival appearances including Glastonbury and Summer Sundae Weekender.



The band’s previous single “Firefly” was released last summer and picked up instantly by iTunes and placed on their “what’s hot” compilation featuring their pick of the latest UK releases. It was also that week’s “hottest download” in The Sunday TimesThey have received worldwide airplay, including the UK (BBC, XFM , NME Radio, Kerrang Radio, BFBS Radio), Germany (Motor FM, Radio Fritz, NDR Radio), USA (Britsound Radio - named as Britsound's "Most Likely To Succeed in 2009"), Italy (Radio Città Aperta), Peru (Kool Rock Radio), and have been Steve Lamacq's BBC6 rebel playlist winners.
