This first featured song is a new one from Interstates entitled “Welcome Insight”.  Interstates has just released their debut album entitled Run Run. “Welcome Insight” was orignally released by Interstates on an old self - released out of print ep entitled The Arborist.

Liner Notes by Alex O’Nan:

“Welcome Insight was written during my early 20’s when I was really craving and seeking to find myself.  Interstates guitarist Kyle, only a good friend at the time, and I were meeting for lunch on a regular basis and he was being very honest about unhealthy patterns he saw in my life.  He challenged me to change and grow in many areas and at first I was hurt by his boldness and honesty, but after a few months we grew closer as friends and I began to truly enjoy those times.  The song is one of a set of six I’ve come to call “The Arborist EP”.  I call it that because of the tremendous growth I experienced in my life while I wrote them.  Each song is set to 120 beats per minute and captures my thoughts and feelings while dealing with many different topic in my early 20’s.  This is the first of those songs I’ve added live drums to.”

Enjoy the mp3 and please feel free to reblog and send to your friends.
