A FIFE band will be on the same line-up as REM, Rage Against the Machine and the Kaiser Chiefs when it plays at T in the Park next month.

State of Affairs has been selected to perform on the T Break stage for up and coming musicians at the festival at Balado.

The boys, from Kettle and Newburgh, beat bands from around the country for one of only 16 slots on the stage.

Made up of David Latto (vocals and guitar), Grant Jeffrey (bass and backing vocals), Iain ‘Hands’ Hannigan (guitar and backing vocals) and Andrew Lennie, State of Affairs was formed when the friends, who now live in Edinburgh, were pupils at Bell Baxter High School, Cupar.

The band counts The Smiths, Billy Bragg and The Clash among their influences.
