Drawing from radio influences ranging from Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace to Lost Prophets and Story of the Year, State Your Cause is a hard-rocking band out of Columbus Ohio. They may be new to the scene, but one quick listen to their MySpace page will tell the storyÂ… this is a band destined for superstardom. State Your Cause is committed in their journey to remove the "local" tag from their name and extend their brand nationally.
State Your Cause just recently release their first CD, “escape.rebellion.promise”, produced by Ben Schigel (Drowning Pool, Walls of Jericho), and found themselves opening for Linkin Park as part of the Projekt Revolution tour last year, as a result of winning the “Rock The Revolution” band competition, hosted by MTV2 and The Machine Shop Marketing Group, and is lining up gigs in Ohio and the surrounding region.
The band’s single “Bring You Back” recently beat out 870 other rock bands to win at OurStage.com’s Rock Channel and then continued on to win the $5,000 grand prize, competing against the winners of 34 other channels on the popular website. State Your Cause took their winnings and purchased a truckload of teddy bears to donate to a local children’s hospital over the Christmas holiday. Ranked among the top 600 most popular sites in the US (per www.alexa.com), OurStage.com has launched careers for musicians of all genres and backgrounds. With a cheat-proof fan ranking system and top-notch partnerships with companies like AOL Music, the upcoming social media site OurStage.com is rapidly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the music business.
Fans are encouraged to get to the Newport Music Hall early, as the venue is expected to fill up early for this killer show.
