Now settled in Manchester, Children of the State reemerge from the chaos of 2020 stronger than ever with newly gained fans in the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq and Radio X’s John Kennedy as well as DIY Magazine, So Young Magazine, Shindig! Magazine, Fred Perry Subculture, Metro & plenty more.

Made up of John McCullagh, Nathan Keeble, Corey Clifton, Conor O’Reilly and Harry Eland, the band’s blend of 70s glam rock, 60s nostalgia and electronica influences have landed them festival slots at the likes of Tramlines, Circafest and YANA Festival as well as support slots with Temples, The Mysterines and Elephant Stone - and a riotous sold-out headline show at their native The Leadmill in Yorkshire.
