{satellite-state} formed in Guildford, Surrey in late 2005 and have continually attracted attention, fantastic reviews since then. 2007 saw {satellite-state} make the final stages of the 3 First Cut Awards national band competition (through to the final 16 from the 2000+ bands that entered) and play many exciting shows around the UK, including a memorable headline slot at Guilfest (one of the best UK Festivals around).
