State of the Union are Boo Hewerdine,  an English songwriter and lead singer of indie legends The Bible and Brooks Williams, is a slide guitar wizard from Statsboro, Georgia, USA.

Their plan was to record an album using vintage mics and equipment live in just 5 days. After a day and a half they realised they had finished. Recorded in the order you hear on the record, the aim was to capture the sound of two guitarists and singers from completely different backgrounds working together in harmony. The result was even better than they had hoped for. They had gathered and written material over last summer when their busy schedules allowed. They found that they had a natural writing chemistry and material came in abundance. In fact plans are already afoot for a second album.

Listen to their cover of Pet Shop Boys ‘Rent’ and you will hear perfectly what an exciting mix raw American acoustic slide guitar and English literate pop can achieve. This is a great discovery and one of the best releases in 2012.
