Golden State

The L.A. indie band has earned a reputation for anthemic tracks with intelligent and relevant lyrics. Concerning the viral video success of 'Bombs (The Ron Paul Song)' GOLDEN STATE had this to say, “Thank you to the fans and Ron Paul 2012 supporters out there. The response has been overwhelming. Everyone is asking when we will be putting the ‘Bombs’ song out on iTunes, and the reason we’ve been holding back is we’d like to work with the Ron Paul crew to officially put it out so that the proceeds can go to his campaign.” (http://itunesbomb.com) Powered by Ron Paul supporters and Revolution Super PAC, they bring you the Ron Paul iTunes Bomb this December 16-25, 2011. The goal is to get to get 'Bombs' to #1 on iTunes; with proceeds going to the Revolution Super PAC and awareness to Ron Paul 2012. Their original music has been on TV shows (Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch, ABC's Castle), commercials (Apple's iPad) and films (Dolphin Tale, Henry Poole is Here, Fame). Rising from the ashes of Paloalto, Golden State languished in relative obscurity while waiting for the rest of the music world to play catch-up, creating one of the most complex and rewarding bodies of work in modern rock & roll long before most listeners even learned of the group's existence. Now, they have garnered the respect of the likes of ELTON JOHN, BONO and SCOTT WIELAND (who on his latest solo album covered Paloalto's "Some Things Must Go This Way").  With a knack for big, melodic hooks, they turn catchy numbers into sweeping, sprawling epic rockers--sharing the stage with everyone from THE BRAVERY to the THE STONE TEMPLE PILOTS. And sharing the studio with not one, but two grammy-winning producers: RICK RUBIN and JOHN SHANKS (a collaboration that brought about the crossover hit, "Even If You Can't See Me"). Raising the bar with a gigantic sound that knows no boundaries…this is GOLDEN STATE. Golden State is ELIAS REIDY bassist, JAMES GRUNDLER, lead singer, MARC BOGGIO lead guitarist, and drummer FERNANDO SANCHEZ. http://goldenstateband.com http://www.reverbnation.com/goldenstate http://www.facebook.com/pages/Golden-State/59733357585?ref=ts http://www.myspace.com/goldenstatetheband Read more on Last.fm.
