Premiere: “Punch Drunk” by Sunday State

Sunday State is the songwriting duo of Portland’s Kurt Foster (Mission Spotlight) and Michael Carothers (Paper Cameras). Jason Lytle heard their home demos and said they sounded “like real space cowboy shit, equal parts Ultravox, Merle Haggard, and Mazzy Star.” Foster and Carothers enlisted the help of Steve Turner (Mudhoney) and Thom Sullivan (Pynnacles) and recorded their debut 5 song e.p. in mono at Jackpot Studio with Tape Op editor Larry Crane.
