808 State ringtones for Verizon, Nextel, Cingular, Sprint and other cell phones
808 State originated in Manchester, England in 1988. 808 State is not named after the nickname that Hawaii earned, due to its 808 telephone area code, but rather after the Roland TR-808 drum machine, with ‘State' standing for the band members' state of mind. This state of mind is everywhere all at once, touching on acid house sounds and hip hop, Manchester pop-rock and rave.
