Amazing music guys, you inspire me to keep practicing my vocals and guitar. I couldn't have done that before, I had no inspiration, no focus. You guys have done that. Absolutely inspirational music guys, awesome sound, awesome vocals; already following on FB and will continue spreading the word.
If it wasn't for Mike Shinoda posting a blog about you guys I'd never had the chance to listen to/see your great band. Thank you guys for showing so much effort to get where you are! Awesome song =)
honestly, thank you all so much from the bottom of our hearts! life is so crazy! stay with us for more updates over on facebook and twitter. NEW ALBUM COMING SOON!
i saw you in fresno a while ago and you guys are great live. after seeing you again at bfd and reading what mike wrote about you, i think you guy will make it big in a couple of years
i loved seeing you guys play at BFD and meeting you guys made the experience even better. i know im def gonn catch every sf or sj show. cnt wait till you guys are playing sold out arenas.
Mike Shinoda is a damn hypocrite. When they were getting a record deal, he admitted they're presentation to get it was terrible. Who's he to judge anybody
I know i'll get slated for this but I have to agree. Strata were better. This dude is seriously no Eric, and it seems Eric was the one person keeping the band from being emo. I'm sorry, but to me they're just another emo band now. :(
Eric V was waaaaaay better singing and lyrical wise. These lyrics are so cliché and contradicting from one verse to the chorus, and to the next verse. And whats with all these bands with being underwater and the singers always sticking their palms into the camera frame? Sorry this just blows. And to the rest of you, it is basically the SAME band with the SAME sound, just different name and 2 different members. Oh wow, big change.
our music video for "Im Still Alive" is now on FUSETV for the entire month of december! if you want to watch it on the big screen and have On Demand. Go to your remote, click "on demand", click music, click fuse, then find Beta State in the rock section! : ) thanks for all the support so far!
Everyone is still so focused on Strata. I am embracing the change that cannot be undone, and enjoying my old albums just the same. Great job guys! This is amazing and it will only be the beginning of your amazing journey together. I can't wait to see more from you! xoxo
this singer is the best ever in the world and will always be better than every band and will be at the top and will KICK ASS sorry but this is the best band in the whole world screw all the other bands plain and smiple BETA STATE IS THE BEST
@mrscarlet25 I disagree. Their album is fucking amazing and the vox own the entire record. How about you actually listen to the whole album. You'll be surprised. They're giving it away free on their facebook
The music is absolutely amazing, but I have to say that the vocals aren't great. They really drown out the music, not letting it breathe. Sorry guys, but I really think that you could've found a singer that better matched your killer unique style.
I would have to say that this is neither worse nor better than Strata - that was a totally different animal. I will say that I have been anxious to hear this band BECAUSE of Strata, but understand (and look forward) to hearing how this band evolves with new "parts and wires". Personally, I enjoy both very much. But I do find that I've been diggin' on the "turn up the reverb and delay to 11"... I'd love to see Beta State tour with Dredg. I could totally see that happening...
kinda disappointed..... expected so much more. they seem to take a couple of steps backwards from Strata. not to say the singer doesn't have pipes but just no presence. saw a vid of them live and he really didn't do anything for me, he was just kinda blah... maybe when he warms up he'll get better
Beta State has come so far since the split of Strata, to the auditions to the new stuff. I am most certainly more than ok with this change. Thank you for not quiting guys, This is the way music is heading and I feel you are about to be appreciated for what you do and who you are.
The video is awesome. I have always wanted to say in a comment that I know one of the band members. So here I go: I know Matt the lead singer, and i hug him all the time.Yyyyeeeaaahhh!!!
Dangg i live my big cuzzy matty(: u guys are awesome(: cant wait til u have a concert that actually lets ppl under 18 or 21 in!!!! Haha love yu guys -kelsie
