A British indie rock band with a solid guitar attack and urgent melodies that are both catchy and powerful, the Luka State burst out of the mining town of Winsford, Cheshire, in 2013, scoring an early success with the song "30 Minute Break." A change in drummers coincided with a shift in the group's creative approach, as synthesizer lines began winding their way into the band's guitar-based arrangements on the 2015 EP The Price of Education. A steady stream of tracks followed before the Luka State scored another success with their 2018 single "Feel It," while their first full-length album, Fall In Fall Out, arrived in early 2021. More Than This, their tense and anxious second LP, written in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, followed in 2023.
