   About THE FOUNDATION STATE
Rising from the ashes of renowned local bands Loudspeaker Paradox & Explicit Content, SHAOLIN quickly became one of the most talked about young bands on the Redditch live music scene. After the departure of Becky, the band thought a new name was in order, They decided on THE FOUNDATION STATE.

Driven by the immense power of some of the most hum-able riffs you could hope to come across and frontman Drew Millward's earnest and sincere lyrics, THE FOUNDATION STATE possesses a sound reminiscent of Nirvana at their peak.

Cutting their teeth supporting the likes of KEIKO and FALLEN GROUND over the Winter of 2004/5, their confidence and reputation earned them headline shows in their home town and also in Birmingham.

2005/06 was a contemplative year working on new tracks and another change of bassist - Watson (ex-Aurora), Now in '08 Drew, Ross & Watson are back with fresh sounds, and reworked originals. After the sucess of the Womb With A View E.P, The Foundation State have been working closely with Dave at The Brook recording their new E.P- Obssession or Addiction continuing the bands original sound with a new dimension and depth. Four of the six tracks have been uploaded for your listening pleasure.

Other news .. . . Lilly Rae was born on January 1st and is the newest member of the Foundation State....beautiful!

Brumcast!! Net Radio, The Sound of the UK Midlands





Jun 7 2008 4:50 PM

You’re on Brumcast 100 ‘A Celebration’, This behemoth of a show features 50 tracks from Midlands based bands that have been played previously in one of the last 99 shows. Its not a 'Best of Brumcast' and the tracks are in no particular order. This is a (big) slice of some of the tracks that have given me much pleasure over the last 2 years. Some very difficult decisions were made in selecting the tracks for this landmark show. Please promote/plug/whore it!
Direct download link http://brumcast. podomatic. com/enclosure/2008-06-01T11_20_33-07_00. mp3 Please visit the homepage at http://brumcast. podomatic. com for the full playlist
