From Columbus, OH, State Your Cause is a five piece rock band consisting of brothers, James and John Scott (vocalist and guitarist respectfully), Deepan Rajah (guitar), Matt Young (drums) and Chase DeBartolomeis (bass). The band’s music is a culmination of well crafted songs, undeniable hooks, and a vulnerable sound of life’s struggles and scars with an undertone of empowering expression of hope. Music with passion. State Your Cause is gearing up to hit the road for a Summer tour with Evans Blue in support of their debut EP Escape Rebellion Promise. The tour will be hitting select cities across the US throughout July and August. Escape Rebellion Promise was produced by Ben Schigel (Chimaira, Drowning Pool, Switched) and recorded at Spider Studios. The band is currently in the studio finishing their full length album that will be released later this year. The band’s debut single “Steal The Stars” was produced by Brett Hestla (Creed, Dark New Day, Framing Hanley, Tantric) and received major airplay at WRKZ The Blitz in Columbus, OH. State Your Cause has performed with the likes of Bobaflex, Framing Hanley, Saving Abel, Three Days Grace, etc. and have performed at Rockapalooza, Rock On The Range, and Projekt Revolution.
