State Champs have released an acoustic version of “Act Like That”, taken from their recently released album, Kings Of The New Age. The new version takes the energetic, bouncing original track and trades it in for a more mellowed-out feel, carried by stunning vocals from frontman Derek DiScanio and bassist Ryan Scott Graham. Listen to it now below.
“We had a short press week back in June where we did some in studio acoustic sessions,” explains guitarist Tyler Szalkowski. “We fell in love with the acoustic versions of Act Like That and Outta My Head. We knew we had to get these recorded and get them out to you all. Enjoy and see you all very soon on the Kings of the New Age tour.”
Celebrating what has so far been a monumental year, the band will be embarking on their headlining Kings Of The New Age Tour later this month. Special guests Hunny and Between You & Me are joining the cross-country affair, with Young Culture (11/11 – 11/20), Games We Play (11/22 – 11/30), and Save Face(12/2 – 12/10) also joining for select dates. All tickets are on sale now HERE.
