State Champs offer an acoustic duet with “Around The World And Back”

New York's State Champs are sharing the title track from their upcoming sophomore LP, Around The World And Back; it serves as a nice change of pace from the singles we've heard thus far and marks a first or two for the band as well. Featuring Ansley Newman of fellow Pure Noise Records band Jule Vera, “Around The World And Back” is an affecting acoustic duet that further displays the softer side of State Champs. You can stream the single below, (via Substream).

“‘Around The World And Back’ is a song about commitment issues and finding a way to overcome them, live in the moment and embrace every opportunity at hand,” says frontman Derek DiScanio. “It’s the first duet song we’ve ever done, and we’re very excited about it. Ansley’s voice is incredible and it’s very refreshing to hear the first female voice featured on a State Champs track.”

Beginning October 17, you can catch State Champs on tour for several dates as they support the Wonder Years and Motion City Soundtrack alongside You Blew It!
