Artist description With a unique blend of instruments not generally found in the Fusion/Jazz genre, State Prism tries its damndest to combine the depency of rock/pop on songwriting with the long, expressive solos found in jazz. With players originating from various places stretching from Macedonia to Los Angeles, their influences cover most of modern music as we know it. You can almost see it coming -- soon they'll run the world, selling out staidums (yes, they'll have State Prism bobble-head dolls and personalized jerseys) and dictating to the mob exactly who they want killed, when, where, etc. Streets, cities --and eventually, entire nations -- will be named after them. Attendance to their shows is mantadory.∆
