This winter, State Champs is hitting the road to celebrate 10 years of ‘Around the World and Back’. This album shaped their career trajectory and is still regarded as one of their best pieces of work.
In January and February they will be playing eight shows alongside some of their favorite bands including Real Friends and Broadside. This album was released back in October of 2015 so the tenth anniversary will be a special one.
For me, this was senior year of high school and I can still remember when it first came out. It is a quintessential pop punk album that holds its own throughout the years. Grab tickets at statechamps.band and see the poster for the dates and supporting acts:
