State Champs have played the main stage of the Vans Warped Tour, shared the stage with bands like Fall Out Boy and Good Charlotte, and appeared on the cover of Alternative Press.  Since forming in 2010, they’ve catapulted from upstate upstarts to arena rockers.  Jamie Hernandez talks to State champs about their trio of studio albums and how they have worked hard to establish their sound and their roots.

Our apologies to drummer Evan Ambrosio, whose internet connection gave out right before the interview started.  But we still thoughe he deserved to see who would play him in the movie of his life!
