State is an Irish monthly music magazine launched in March 2008. The first issue appeared on Irish shelves on March 6 [1] [2] and featured Michael Stipe of R.E.M. on the cover. [3] This immediately garnered comparisons between the new magazine's similarities with Hot Press who featured Stipe on their cover at the same time. [4]

Issue 02 was out on April 2, 2008 and featured Muse on the cover. [5] Issue 03 featured Gemma Hayes on the cover. [6]

State is published by Roger Woolman and edited by two Hot Press alumni, John Walshe and Phil Udell. Contributors include Evening Herald columnist, The Irish Times reviewer and blogger Sinead Gleeson, Rolling Stones writer Kara Manning, award-winning blogger Niall Byrne (a.k.a. Nialler9 [7]), Event Guide writer David O'Mahony and The Star feature writer Tanya Sweeney.
