Goldstate is a UK-based pop punk band that blends the energy of modern pop punk with the melodies and heart of its early 2000s roots. Featuring Ben (Vocals), James (Guitar), Jez (Guitar), and Amy (Drums), the band may be newly formed, but its members are no strangers to the stage, each bringing touring experience from other projects.
Goldstate thrives on sharp songwriting, huge choruses, and a sound that feels both fresh and familiar. With a focus on delivering music that connects, they aim to carve out their place in today’s scene.
Beyond the band, lead vocalist Ben Pritchard is also the co-owner of BSB TV (https://bloodsweatandbeers.tv/) , a platform dedicated to amplifying alternative music. His deep ties to the industry and firsthand insight into what resonates with audiences give Goldstate a unique edge, ensuring their music reaches the right ears while staying true to their ethos.
The band’s latest single, “Love Bomb,” is a collaboration with London-based solo artist Walwin. It’s the first of five singles set to drop in 2025, leading up to the release of a full-length album in early 2026.
Pritchard says, ‘Love Bomb’ encapsulates the experience of being in love; the highs, the lows, and everything in between. It’s an emotion that resonates with everyone. The music video was an enjoyable project to work on; we conceptualized it as if a news station were reporting on ‘Love Bomb’ as a contagious phenomenon affecting everyone.”
