Statewide Emergency is a rock and roll quartet that plays honest, original music with complex melodies and quality musicianship. Although much of the vocals and guitar are rooted in blues and alternative music (The Black Keys, Queens of the Stone Age), the rhythm section is inspired by more straight ahead rock bands such as Led Zeppelin and The Dead Weather leaving more intrigue than doubt about what genre the band plays. One music writer described it as “balls-to-the-wall rock laced with blues and an alternative touch.”

August 2010 – We just finished a week's worth of shooting for the music video for our single “The Inside”. The video was directed by Daniel Goldhaber; we hope to throw a video release party this Fall. Stay tuned for details!
Sadly, Luke Johnson has parted ways with Statewide after nearly four years with the band. We are pleased to have found the very talented Ben Sproul, former member of Rose Hill Drive and Von Skinny, to fill Luke's shoes over the next few months as we look for a longer term replacement. Be sure to check out Ben's debut with the band at an all ages show at the Cannabis Festiva on August 21st.
