“Ride or Die,” the latest single from Another State, brings together the UK’s pop-country scene in a bold, high-energy anthem celebrating friendship, weekend revelry, and the thrill of romance. The four-piece band—Sean Ryder Wolf, Paul McDowell, James Gibson, and Dave Staton—have honed a genre-blending sound, drawing from influences like Post Malone, Taylor Swift, and even Beyoncé, to create a unique crossover style that balances pop polish with raw country rock.
“Ride or Die” kicks off with a punchy combination of driving guitars and pounding drums, setting an energetic tone. Each vocalist steps up to deliver a distinctive flavor: first, a charismatic, confident voice leads, setting the mood with suave, catchy lines. A second singer brings a higher, edgier tone, leading to a rousing chorus where all four singers join forces on the line, “’Cause it’s ride or die,” delivering it with electric energy. The third verse introduces a deeper, resonant voice that adds intensity with lyrics alluding to carnal desires with intriguing lyricism, while the final, most charismatic and energetic vocalist caps off the track with charming, playful pick-up lines like, “As smooth as butter, you are the sweetest pie,” adding a cheeky, infectious vibe.
“Ride or Die” marks a confident stride for Another State, blending harmony-rich choruses with catchy, upbeat rhythms that will resonate on any night out. This track is a life-affirming, feel-good anthem with a cowboy spirit, perfect for fans of pop, country, and anyone ready to “air punch” along.
