If you are a fan of OPM then you know the huge success the band had with ‘Heaven/Halfpipe’, huge radio airplay from their debut album, and combine sales with their two following full-length albums at over a million. Now they are back with a new album, "Golden State Of Mind" which does not disappoint.

Featuring guest appearances by reggae legend Pato Banton, Sen Dog (Cypress Hill), Johnny Richter (Kottonmouth Kings), Big B, Dirtball, Jim Perkins (Dumbluck), Jamie Allensworth, Kevin (The B-side Players), & DJ Product of (Hed pe), this body of work picks up where ‘California Poppy’ left off & then some. They recorded in their hometown Los Angeles, produced by Andrew Nast and Jim Perkins at J&A’s studio and feature stand out tracks like ‘Runaway’, which has a classic punk rock edge, reminiscent of The Clash, to ‘Dirty White’ which has a dirty hook & bass line to match and songs like ‘Feel the vibration’ and ‘Square Peg’ have the old school OPM sound, great lyrics & a good time feel. If you’re already a fan, I know you will be picking this up and if you’re not, it's definitely worth taking a listen if you’re a fan of this type of music.
