The State of Pennsylvania Proudly Presents...

New EP Release from Illinois titled �What the Hell Do I Know� out this Spring on Ace Fu.

Riding on a tractor of six strings, a banjo, a microphone made out of a telephone, one of the tallest drum thrones ever, a super-sized dose of self-deprecating humor, and all funneled through a metaphor comes Illinois. Straight outta Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Illinois� music conveys imagery of their home�a timeless place of raw emotion that says everything about the individuals involved; a place where little league children still ride their bicycles in the street and the first girl you kissed is now your wife.

These guys have personalities that match their music: it�s rowdy, fun, humiliating and has almost no get-to-know-you period . On stage and in person, Illinois is a gallon of Jameson and a barrel of laughs. And because Illinois is routed in honesty and a dichotomy of emotions, �What the Hell Do I Know� is an EP that will knock you down then help you up and give you a hug.

Through hours and hours of agonizing deliberation, Illinois have gone through their vault of a hundred and something-odd songs and gingerly handed over 7 songs for you and I to share. This spectrum of songs summarizes the intrinsic conflict that fuels Illinois...and is only a taste of what�s to come...

1. Alone Again 2. Nosebleed 3. What Can I Do For You 4. Screendoor 5. One on One 6. Headphones 7. Bad Day
