Memorial State from Porto, Portugal is set to release their sophomore EP "Bloomed" on March 18, 2022 via Ring Leader Records. The EP offers 5 new songs blending elements of early 2000s emo/punk with shoegaze and heavy alt rock, reminiscent of bands like Title Fight, Basement, and Modern Color.

With a sound that harks back to 90s alt/indie rock pop like Sugar and Dinosaur Jr, Memorial State delivers driving melodic distortion-heavy guitar rock with strong melodies and pop structure. The EP's first two singles, "Hard to Believe" and "Empty Space," give a taste of the band's passion-filled, club-worthy tracks that will resonate with fans of nostalgic punk and alt rock.
