JOE’s Song Of The Day #555: State Lights – ‘Peace Will Come’

Eric Lalor

State lights

With a chorus so catchy, it should come with a warning.

State Lights are singer Shobsy, guitarist Joe Regan, drummer Paul Ridgeway and bassist Noel Perry who all met at BIMM Music College in Dublin. Bonding over a shared interest in classic 80’s music and a common desire to write big stadium-sized songs the guys decided to work on a music project. This early incarnation led to the formation of State Lights in 2015.

Considered Rising Stars for 2018, State Lights new single, “Peace Will Come” which was mixed by Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons) is accompanied by an incredibly powerful video. Some of the featured faces in the video include Liam Cunningham (actor) Patrick Bergin (actor), Gary Ringrose (rugby player), Guggi (Artist), Kevin Thornton (Celebrity Chef), Craig Fitzgerald (The Academic).
