About Police State
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. The old memories all tend to blend together. One of our first practices as a full band was in our bassist Gage's shed. No air-conditioning, in the middle of the Phoenix summer... the energy was hot, cramped, and stuffy, but it was thankfully alive.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? David Bowie, Blackstar Nine Inch Nails, The Downward Spiral Explicit Version Swans, Soundtracks For the Blind To us, these three albums are monumental, defining pieces of work: each of these records operate in their own musical language and character, and push (what we consider to be) the boundaries of good music and storytelling, in one way or another.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Fashion Girl” For some reason, we always keep coming back to this one. Although we still aren't the biggest fans of how we handled the recording and mixing of our first record, we always draw the strength to play "Fashion Girl" live. It's all about the energy.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? We've been lucky to play with so many wonderful musicians - horn players, string players, etc. - and have always loved the depth they help to bring to our songs. Our newest live record (hopefully) reflects this fact, from two separate events/moments.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Too many things to count. We're always working on our next record; always trying to improve upon our previous work. Our biggest goal is to fully realize the music we've been hearing in our heads for so long.
