Mates of State track with Daytrotter
Gardner and Hammel of Mates of State recorded a four song session with Daytrotter and sat down for an interview. This was Daytrotter's 80th session, continuing to provide the tracks for free with the mission of bringing something new to indie rock media. The band talks about how they manage being parents of their two year old daughter while touring with Death Cab for Cutie, Spoon, and Starlight Mints.
The Mates of State share that their next album will bring changes to their sound to avoid the "cutesy" comments. "We are definitely gonna throw a wrench in the machine on the next record in order to get peoples’ attention. The only thing we’re going to keep is the high quality of songwriting."
