INTERVIEW: ELECTRIC STATES’s Rob Viney Talks ‘Standing On The Edge’, New Music & Rock Is Not Dead Melbourne

On this special Rock Is Not Dead Australia episode of 50 Shades Of Slaids  for The Rockpit we catch up with the frontman for Western Australia’s Electric State ahead of their set at Rock Is Not Dead Melbourne on August 29 at The Prince Bandroom.

In this chat with Rob Viney we look back at the year has been 2026 so far for Electric State. They are only just getting started too as 2027 will see the release of their sophomore album ‘Standing On The Edge’ which is set for release in January via X-Music.

With the first single from ‘Standing On The Edge’, “After The Fall” we get a taste of the evolution of the band. A second single “Head In Hands” is set for release just before their appearance at Rock IS Not Dead Melbounre on August 29.

We also talk about what things have been like since signing with X-Music and what that has changed in their world. New music, live shows, video clips we talk it all. We also discuss the importance of independent rock festivals like Rock Is Not Dead.

Live Electric State are a must see band. Loud, high energy rock n roll that needs to come with an insurance policy. It’s always guaranteed to be a great time when Electric State hit the stage. 

Electric State are appearing at Rock Is Not Dead Melbourne at the Prince Bandroom on August 29. Tickets available from Oztix. Limited VIP tickets available and will sell out. Be a part of the Rock N Roll revolution that is Rock Is Not Dead.
