States released their debut album this past October, but the band has been somewhat quiet since then. Mindy White recently did an interview to discuss the band’s 2012 plans to keep busy. You can check out the full interview here and a snippet of it below by clicking “Read More.”

What do you have planned for 2012? Do you have anything you’re working on already?

We don’t have anything set yet. We don’t have any tours set or anything like that, but we’re definitely looking at it and going back and forth with what’s available and narrowing down our choices. We just want to be out on tour. I literally told our booking agent, “We don’t want to be home next year. Literally, just book us up.” We want to be touring. We want to be out and promoting this record and meeting everybody.

Doing the Circa tour was amazing because I’m a huge Circa fan, always have been, but also because I feel like a lot of the fans that came out, most of the people I would talk to, were like, “We have never heard of you but we heard you tonight and we bought your record.” That was a big wakeup to me. I thought the only people that would want to see us were existing fans, but we actually picked up tons of new fans just by touring with a slightly different band. I feel like Lydia never would have toured with Circa. I tried to make that happen in the past and it just wouldn’t happen and I was so bummed.

I feel like this next year’s got to be a heavy touring year. That’s what we’re going to do is tour, tour, tour. We don’t have any plans on putting a new album out because we just putRoom to Run out, but Stephen and I are always writing. I already have a couple new songs for the next record. It’s just exciting to write. We don’t have any plans on putting anything out, but who knows? We might put out extra little b-sides or something maybe by early summer or something like that.
