Details about the new free issue which is out *from* today and features Kings of Leon, Flight Like Apes, The Virgin Prunes, The Blizzards, Messiah J & The Expert, The Roots and more. We are still adding to the list of places you can get it so suggestions would be preferable over a moany comment. Contrary to popular belief, State is run by a small team of staff so we need a bit of help every now and again.
On another note, I’m very proud to my Kings of Leon feature grace the cover. They said some interesting things. First naysaying comment gets a dig in the arm. It’s positivity Friday folks. Read State Issue 7 right here:

good stuff all the same master nialler – good stuff!!
Wouldn’t it have been weird if Nay had been the first to comment on this post? No dig in the arm for her now though…or maybe this is the first ‘naysaying comment’ coz i mentioned her? Please feel free to stop me at any time…(getting coat..)
that took me a couple of reads to “get” – ughhh…not good today
bud dum tish!
That application for reading the mag online is deadly! Anytime I’ve looked for State in the spar on campus in DCU it hasn’t been there, I’d say getting the mag sold in college shops would definitley be a good idea as large part of ur “target market” or whatever would be there(uv probably thought of this already:P)
three words, persepolis, ……..`
