Looks like These United States are giving me a second chance to correct a wrong I made a little while back. I missed their last show at Al’s because my car was in the shop (and I came home to find that the construction crew had hit a gas line at our house — awesome). [...]

Fun fact: Jesse from These United States and Sean from Daytrotter went to the same college and didn’t realize it until they met in person for their first Daytrotter session. But that’s not important. What is important is that TUS did their second session and it’s now available over at Daytrotter. Hit up their Myspace [...]

Folk, rock, folk rock, rockabilly, folkabilly (hey I just invented a new word), Talking Heads, These United States, Paul Simon, Neil Young, etc. Brooklyn's Love As Laughter come blazing out of the gate with suitcases full of rich folk inspired pop rock strapped to the roof of their latest album Holy. With the aid of [...]~~

It's seems like it has taken me ages to write a review of These United States' Crimes, but it is what it is and I'm doing it now, aren't I? I first want to mention the wonder of These United States. In one year they've toured a RIDICULOUS amount (remember the 30 day jaunt), released [...]

"Kings and Aces" is a great, well-produced These Unites States tune off their album A Picture Of The Three Of Us At The Gate To The Garden Of Eden. The original is a strong song that's got a lot of experimental production that pays off in spades (get it?) — so it's really fun to [...]

If These United States' album Crimes doesn't do well, it's not the band's fault. The album's great and they've been touring in support of it for a while now. In fact, after only a few weeks off since their last tour, TUS will be hitting the road again in November. Included in those dates are [...]

Jesse and Mark It feels a bit absurd to call a small band like These United States a "supergroup," but that's what it felt like on Saturday night. These United States are currently four guys that come from three of the best Lexington-related bands. Jesse writes the These United States songs, Mark plays as Vandaveer, and [...]

Mashed into the ragged, revisionist matrix of The White Stripes, Andrew Bird and even his old band Squirrel Nut Zippers, These United States possess the gift for making yesteryear's folk, rock and pop sonics skew new. The brainchild of band...

Tonight These United States are playing in Lexington at Al's Bar. I haven't seen these guys since I wound up doing a last minute interview with them at WRFL without knowing who they were. Sniff. We've come so far since then. Here's one from their upcoming record Crimes. MP3: These United States - Honor Amongst [...]

The world’s hardest working band, These United States have just released a video for the great “Honor Amongst Thieves” off of their Crimes album. The black and white video has some great shots of them performing live, on tour, and swiping things (most notably a little girls bike). Check it:mp3: These United States – Honor [...]

These United States were the first band I grabbed to play Hot Freaks! I’m a big fan of both the band’s work and the musicians as people. They’re a delight and always lead to a good time. However that means jack to you, the reader, if the music isn’t good. I mean, I have friends [...]
