These United States

Called by XPN's own Bruce Warren "one of American rock's best kept secrets," These United States have slowly built their national reputation by relentlessly touring the country and forsaking rent money to pay for gas. With three albums under their belt in only two years, the dedicated troubadours blend influences from a myriad of influences to create their own breed of indie rock-fused Americana. Their dedication is paying off, as the musical growth of their latest, Everything Touches Everything, has won the band greater critical praise and an ever-expanding fan base smitten with their infectious energy.
