Editor's note

State Champs keep pop punk straightforward and catchy

An Albany band that built a following on clean hooks and steady touring since 2013.

If you want to hear what they do well, try 'Secrets' or 'Leave You In The Dark.' They're good examples of how the band writes.

They've never tried to reinvent pop punk, but they've written songs that stick. 'Secrets' from Around the World and Back became a live staple, and tracks like 'Leave You In The Dark' show they know how to land a chorus. Their sound is all about that direct energy and melodies you can sing along to.

They started with The Finer Things in 2013, then put out Around the World and Back two years later. Since then, they've kept releasing albums every few years, like Living Proof in 2018 and Kings of the New Age in 2022. The lineup has stayed steady, and they've toured consistently.

The band includes Derek DiScanio on vocals, Tyler Szalkowski and Tony Diaz on guitars, Ryan Scott Graham on bass, and Evan Ambrosio on drums.
