♫♪  Blessed State - Head Space

Blessed State — the Northampton, Massachusetts-based four-piece of Brian Frenette on vocals, Rob Flaglor on guitars, Kiana Saroce on bass, and Andrew McCarthy on drums — carry on in some of the best traditions of hardcore and post-hardcore, while also ably employing and indirectly referencing outside and unorthodox pop influences at will, and with a songwriterly skill suspectedly beyond their years, but the proof is littered throughout Head Space, their very first album, which was released back in June on Safety Meeting Records. The debut full length’s taken at least two years to arrive at, but it represents a major growth and progression on the part of the band and their sound from their still impressive, but creatively early, 2012 demos.
