Episode 1002: American Rock Band, Astoria State 

No strangers to the toil and grind of the Music business, the members of Astoria State have been professional musicians and road warriors in bands for the past decade.   They’ve been supporting members in various projects, and have now decided the time is right to step forward and take the lead roles in a project they’ve been visualizing together for years.   With the release of the thought-provoking yet hopeful new single “Nobody Knows“, Astoria State are ready to take on that challenge. https://astoriastate.com/

King Foolish aka Danny Resnick the vocalist/guitarist for Astoria State joins STRIKE A CHORD. They say it takes about 10 years for a band to make it!  In the case of Astoria State it started back in the 2000’s when Danny met Jessie Carroll playing for The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.  Fast forward a few broken bands, some projects and years later—you get Astoria State!  AND YES Resnick plays keys for TRJA — it’s unconventional but we don’t care.  Astoria State’s NEW EP “The Suffer, The Salvage 2021” is six head-banging guitar jams.  Our favorite track “War” — or maybe a little closer to the heart—Love is a War and always a battlefield.  Resnick wrote the track about those bad love experiences to reflect on how we react and grow from it… “a little bit about life, a lot about love.” Haven’t you heard War is a 4 letter word?  Listen to Astoria Statehttps://astoriastate.com
