Today, Albany-raised pop-punk band State Champs released a new music video for their track “Too Late To Say.” This song showcases a refreshing new sound for the group, bringing out their vulnerable side. While it sounds youthful and polished, it’s a deeper track that lyrically talks about being scared and the fear of losing yourself. The music video embodies those feelings, as the band is seen performing off the back of a fast-moving truck – a metaphor for moving too quickly through life.
This release comes just after the band announced their fifth studio album and self-titled record, State Champs, to be released on November 8 via Pure Noise Records. Last week, “Too Late To Say” was released as a single on all streaming platforms alongside “Silver Cloud.” In the music video for that song, singer Derek DiScanio is seen breaking the cycle of a mundane, unfulfilling life with a cast of characters played out by the rest of the band.
Comprised of 12 tracks, the songs on this record explode with passionate and smartly constructed precision. While big, bold, and slick, the production nevertheless sounds like a band in a room together or decimating the stage. It’s a perfect example of how the band has become a major player in the pop-punk scene, championing the genre over the past decade.
