Video: Mates of State

It's a family affair for the duo Mates of State. When husband-and-wife Jason Hammel and Kori Gardner came to the BPP studios, they brought their kids and Kori's mom babysat. They call their blog Band on the Diaper Run.

Forget everything you think you know about rockstars. Mates of State have a picture-perfect Connecticut suburban life and it's cool.

Here's My Only Offer from their new album Re-Arrange Us.

Excellent stuff. Thanks BPP!

I notice the video quality has been improving. My middle-aged eyes appreciate this.

They came in live, but not really live, that's cruel. (obligatory apologies to the BNL's)

cheers...ank
