Rhode Island is famous for Quahogs, Newport, Providence TV show, Family Guy, Brown University, the big blue bug on Rte 95 and of course corruption.

STATE OF CORRUPTION has seen it all come and go in the rock sub-genre of rap rock. Being one of the first bands to rap & yell to hard rock music has never paid off financially (on a national level) for those dudes from the ocean state. Too bad! These guys deserve it!

SOC have always been a band that carried its own weight while sharing the stage with national acts like Sevendust, Bloodhound Gang, Kid Rock, Powerman 5000, Staind and Godsmack. Unlike most of the current rap rock bands making $ out there, SOC does not sing to hook in all the teen girls as fans. King Mike L and Fasad rap style reminds me of 80's rap meets the Biohazard
yell/scream formula.

One of my favorite live moments of SOC was when I saw them perform at a sold out show at Lupo's (Providence, RI) and Godsmack was the opening act. SOC were the best band that night and Godsmack is now big, Where's the justice? SOC should have been the ones to be on every rock radio station in America like Godsmack. That's this rock critic/fan's opinion!

My favorite songs on 3 are "Respect", "Tourniquet","2048", "Land Of The Misfit Toys ", "Stripper Song", "Bushido"

Samples (from movies like JFK, Goodfellas & Scarface) & scratches from DJ Thrill. He does an excellent job live and on disc. Cool!
