Blessed State's latest, the SLIPSTREAM EP, is a 4-song effort recorded this past May by Kevin Gebo at Disappearing Mountain in Easthampton MA. The band enjoyed the recording process so much that Gebo has since joined the band as their second guitar player!
These four songs continue the band's melodic punk trajectory, incorporating more harmonies and hooks wherever possible. The Exploding In Sound blog referred to it as "thoughtful and efficient, comfortable with the pathways that lead into and around the heart".

lyrics
Sun sets in the same spot as yesterday
Yet everything that brought me to here has changed
It’s these small things that always keep me watching
You never know when it’ll just turn out hopeless
“Don’t let me down”, I keep on thinking. “Don’t let me down”
Can you see the beauty in the redundant?
Is it a way to keep the perspective?
Or is it a way to get lost in the noise, so that 1 year ends up being 7?
“Just put me down, get it down with”
I promised me that I’d take all of this in stride
Can you tell me if I stayed true to push on or still abide?
