The State Lottery-When the Night Comes
Dark times. An abundance of emotional capital, but not many other resources to speak of. Where to go? What to do? We wrestle with straightforward questions like they're real live alligators. It takes a toll, physically. One day you look in the mirror and you're staring at the beginning of mortality. Comes a...

The State Lottery-Cities We
In honor of the Don's birthday, I'm going to let the state lottery pink couch out of it's holding cell. Unfortunately he's not in the recording at all. This is the title track off of their recent record on Salinas Records.

The State Lottery-Cities We
These guys are spread out as per the diaspora of punk, hailing from different areas of the midwest and New York City. They play an extremely melodic, yet aggressive brand of punk rock that harkens back to M-Blanket and asks "what if Jawbreaker's first few records had good production quality?" The instrumentation is very dramatic and mature, complete with a...

The State Lottery-Split with The 255s
From our split with The 255s on All In Vinyl. It's just the one song. Our Soundcloud was starting to beg for money, so I moved it over to IYMI.

The State Lottery-Little Song
Footage from us making burritos at El & Tim's in Portsmouth, UK. This is off our recent full length "When the Night Comes", which you can download for free on this very site. I applaud anyone who can sit through this and pay attention the whole time. The end is especially excruciating. Filmed with a T2i w/...

The State Lottery-Fistfuls of Sand
Maybe more similar to our first record than our recent records. Our take on the "wall of sound." We recorded this last year in Detroit with Andrew Davis. I think both of these songs came out great and I've been really excited about people hearing them! I missed my dad's 60th birthday party to record this! I'm a...

The State Lottery


The State Lottery are an Americana-influenced punk band.

The band shares many stylistic similarities to others on the Salinas label, as well as being reminiscent of a more heartlands-conscious version of the No Idea Records "sound".
