Amongst them are <em>&#8216;Silver Cloud&#8217;<\/em> and\u00a0<em>&#8216;Too Late To Say&#8217;<\/em>, both of which can be heard below. Showcasing a familiar, energetic pop-punk sound, the former thrives with a punchy chorus. While the latter highlights\u00a0<strong>State Champs<\/strong>&#8216; ability to provide soaring hooks.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the album and the reason for its eponymous title, vocalist Derek DiScanio said\u00a0<em>\u201cWe found our way, through the ups and downs within us, personally and as a band, and wanted to express that. This is the right time to showcase it.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Bassist Ryan Scott Graham shares the sentiment, adding\u00a0<em>&#8220;When we stepped back and looked at the songs, sonically and thematically, it\u2019s a great vision of who we are.
