What's up Lightweight's today's guest? One of my favorite bands from Albany, New York,

Derek the lead singer of state champs.

Hello, how we doing?

Good, how are you?

I'm doing great man. It feels good to be here.

Thanks for having me.

Thank you so much for saying yes.

I've been listening to you guys since the, this album,

the finer things.

And I did a deep dive into it again last week.

Still remember, every single lyric, every single single song and seriously you guys are one of my favorite bands.

Dude thank you so much man especially since it's been I mean this is this year is the

ten year anniversary of that album too which is crazy to kind of full circle moment in it and like know that you

like started listening to us back then it's special man thank you and you guys are

doing the when we were Youngfest when we were Youngfest next year

because it just got announced sold out immediately and we did it last year as well the first

year that they had it so it's cool that they asked us back and this time doing the album

in full it's gonna be cool that's their whole festival this year is they're

doing albums in full, correct?

Everybody has to play an album.

I guess they, like, we didn't get to pick that album,

they picked it for us.
