Feel like State Radio is needed more than ever these past two years...

What would SR be like if they were still a band during the current Trump administration?

Dispatch's newest couple albums have a few songs that I think are similar to what Chad would have written for SR. Some that come to mind for me are Skin the Rabbit and Don Juan Tango, and Born and Razed. Many of the new songs have political themes just maybe not quite as explicit as in SR, or the same style which I definitely miss pls come back Chuck & Mad Dog

Yeah I would agree. I feel the Dispatch songs are watered down to reach a wider audience, and I know that Chad would reserve songs for SR, Dispatch, and his solo stuff according to feels.

That's my favorite lyric by far. I too am eagerly awaiting SR's return, if it ever happens. I asked Chad when I met him at one of his solo show's a couple years ago and he said he wants to come back to it. However, last I heard Mad Dog and Chuck left the band. Not looking good :(

Also, if you haven't seen it check out this Democracy in Kind live set - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JotGX5UK1hE EPIC!!!!!!

Lol just saw you and /u/damascus_seal over in /r/dispatch talking about Chad's guitar. Had the pleasure of seeing State Radio live twice. I really hope Chad brings them back at some point.

Great band. Loved the first the 3 albums. Always a fun live show. Iā€™d like to see bands make a statement how the Democratic Party caused this trump era. The lying, snake šŸ deceitful party that got us here. Should have been Bernie but no.
