State Radio Is An Alternative Rock Band From Boston MA Consisting Of Former Dispatch Member Chad Urmston Lead Vocals Guitar Chuck Fay Bass And Mike Najarian Drums . The Band's First Full-Length Album Us Against The Crown Was Released In December 2005 Their Second Year Of The Crow In September 2007 And Their Most Recent Album Let It Go In September 2009. A Boston-Based Trio Led By Singer And Primary Songwriter Chad Urmston A Former Member Of Vermont Jamsters Dispatch State Radio Largely Managed To Avoid The Usual Post-Phish Clichés Injecting A Punk-Influenced Sound And Politically Charged Viewpoint While Staying True To The Tenets Of The Band's Chosen Style. Urmston Who Disbanded Dispatch At The Height Of Its Popularity In 2002 Formed State Radio Later The Same Year. Focusing Exclusively On Guitar And Vocals Instead Of The Instrument Switching He Was Previously Known For He Brought In Second Guitarist Pete Halby Bassist Chuck Fay And Drummer Mike Greenfield To Round Out The Lineup. After The Exploratory Debut EP Flag Of The Shiners Was Released By Fenway Recordings In Late 2002 State Radio Went On A Temporary Hiatus Throughout 2003 As Urmston Recovered From Throat Surgery. Returning To Active Duty In 2004 As A Slimmed-Down Trio With New Drummer Brian Sayers State Radio Followed A Second EP Simmer Kane With The Release Of 2006's Us Against The Crown. Another Personnel Change Occurred Before State Radio Toured In Support Of The Album With Drummer Mike Najarian Replacing Sayers. The Sophomore Effort Year Of The Crow Followed In Fall 2007 Bringing With It An Emphasis On Louder Guitars And Sociopolitical Themes. State Radio Reinforced Such Themes By Launching Service Projects In Each City The Band Visited And Urmston Briefly Reconvened Dispatch For A Three-Night Charity Performance At Madison Square Garden With Funds Going Toward Zimbabwe Relief. State Radio Maintained Such Political Awareness On 2009's Let It Go. Official Recording Sessions For Their Third Album Began On November 3 2008 In North Brookfield Massachusetts At Long View Farm Studios. The Album Entitled Let It Go Was Released On September 29 2009.
