Sean Ryder Wolf, Paul McDowell, James Gibson, and Dave Staton, a.k.a. Another State, the UK’s pioneering pop-country fourpiece crossover male harmony band, are thrilled to announce their latest single, “Ride Or Die.” This energetic and exhilarating track is perfect for bringing friends together and kicking off the party! Released today, October 4th, 2024!
Another State have quickly garnered a dedicated following with their unique sound that seamlessly bridges pop and country. Drawing inspiration from genre-blending artists like Post Malone, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé, they create something truly special, with their very own twist. Their music takes listeners on an emotional journey to all of life’s frontiers: Through the ups and downs of love and relationships, the thrill of chasing your dreams, and spontaneous late-night adventures with your closest friends. Picture a harmonious fusion that combines pop’s catchy allure with the raw essence of country music: nostalgic yet boldly innovative.
“Ride Or Die” is the third single from the band and follows the debut “All You Need” and sophomore single “The Only One” and showcases and the more raw and ‘full on’ country rock sound that the band have wholeheartedly embraced. Sean Ryder Wolf knew two things about the track: firstly, that he had written something very different and very special and, secondly, that although he had the melodies but no other lyrics, this song simply had to have the title “Ride Or Die”!
Immediately with having that song title in mind, the band knew the track was going to be a powerhouse of vibrant energy and super fun – or as Ryder Wolf puts it – “an exciting high octane ‘night out with your buddies’ sort of vibe … full of energy and one you can play loud when you’re driving!”. The band loved collaborating while writing the song, Ryder Wolf claiming “it felt pretty liberating writing a song which had that ‘weekend’ feeling and had a lot of fun helping come up with lyrics which encompassed both being with your friends, and also having an exciting experience meeting a girl when you’re out.”
“Ride Or Die” is a triumph of positivity: an air punching, life-affirming cowboy anthem, and then some! Think of an opener with crashing vibrant guitars, think of rodeos, ‘blackjacks’ and ‘feeling lucky’, out hitting the town, and having the time of your life with your posse. Ryder Wolf says when he originally presented the song to the other members of the band: “I came in and said: ‘I think I’ve come up with something pretty special here’.” Indeed, it came to pass!
“RIDE OR DIE” IS AVAILABLE ACROSS ALL STREAMING AND DOWNLOAD PLATFORM FROM 4TH OCTOBER 2024
