The hotly tipped anthemic rockers have released the video for their new song 'Open Your Arms'.

After selling out the Workman’s Club in March and performing at Kaleidoscope Festival at the end of June, the band will be performing a headline show in Whelan’s on October 5.

Over the past few months, State Lights have supported The Fratellis, The Academic and the Blizzards. They've also recorded sessions and been playlisted on both 2fm and Today FM and received airplay internationally with the likes of KROQ, the renowned LA based radio station.

The video for 'Open Your Arms' features various people at their most joyous, creative and liberated - including Rory O'Neill, aka Panti Bliss. Listen to it here:
