Mad Dog are already recognized within the revered circles of bands such as Them Crooked Vultures, Queens of the Stone Age and The Raconteurs.

This summer Mad Dog played Jelling Festival in Denmark, headlined the main stage at Music For Life Festival in Suffolk and were on stage the hour before Motorhead took the stage at Getaway Rock Festival in Sweden.

“The next biggest band in the world” - Dom Fairbanks, Fairbanks Endorsements (Endorsement for Madonna, The Killers, Foo Fighters, Them Crooked Vultures)

States Of Emotion are four youthful, passionate, song writers, hell bent on providing a sound drenched in anthemic melody to unite the masses. Set against an eerily optimistic backdrop, the Essex quartet thrive on a combination of melodic guitars, pounding skins and pulse raising vocals to produce a sound that’s ship set sail from English shores a long time ago. Creating a sound this unique at a time when the British music scene is at its diverse best can only represent a band with an unpredictable but explosive future. With a compelling unity that has come from playing music together since the age of 14, these groove laden southern upstarts will send you the most fantastic shudders. Previous appearances include Glastonbury 2009, Great Escape Festival and radio time inc John Kennedy XFM, Hue Stephens BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio One's HOTTEST RECORD IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW on Zane Lowes show.
