Comments: From the onesheet: "Pulling together bar band swagger and honky-tonk stomp alongside pop-rock smarts and vigor, Big State barnstormed the alternative country-rock scene in Austin... With a tip of the cap to their influencers such as Uncle Tupelo, Old 97's, and Slobberbone, Big State's songs are irreverent and entertaining, blending the biographical and pure fiction, and drawing from that story-telling gene that's inherently built into a Texan."
