If there’s one thing we need more of in 2025, it’s socially conscious / protest music from the State of Texas.   Denton, TX alternative rockers ForEach Loop seem primed to deliver us just what the doctor ordered.  

Simply put, this single kicks ass. This group always has some pretty great vocal ideas, and uses harmony and repetition to tremendous effect, and this is true on “State of Texas” as well.

There’s also just a wealth of awesome guitar work going on in this track. The rhythm guitar in the chorus has got Smashing Pumpkins-level weight to it and some blistering solos carry us out.

The final promo video for this single, available at the YouTube link on this page, adds a whole other layer to the track. It’s worth checking out.

If there’s a whole album of stuff like this coming, buckle up.
