The United States of America (band)

[jlee]

Please to educate me on this band.

They have a surprisingly extensive Wiki post for their (one?) album. I became aware of them when checking up on one of my favorite bands (Broadcast) and it was noted the musical similarities. I feel slightly embarrassed to say i can't recall ever hearing this band before.Terrific music?or TURDriffic music?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_United_States_of_America_(band)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_United_States_of_America_(album)b/wtake this to weirdrecordsthatsuck.com?

Yes it was, Abby. Man, I forgot all about "Psyche Party." That was the sureshot...

But back off of Dorothy, she don't want you Jon. She's all mine.

Some of Joseph Byrd's other stuff is good as well.

[Horseleech]

Hate to be that geek but... cop the promo-only mono if you can. Sounds amazing.

It's all about "Cloud Song."

 

[Treehouse]

Such a good album. It reminded me of a more drug induced, expiremental and sophisticated Free Design.
The cd re-release insert has some good info from Byrd. From what i gathered, he wasnt really a rock musician to begin with. The art movement he was involved in exposed him to the idea of starting a band. They did a few live shows and the album never really promoted well. I dont know the whole story, but interesting stuff. Cloud Song is rad, and I really like "Coming Down" too.

What's "The American Metaphysical Circus" like?

I like that record. Or at least what I can remember of it.

If you've not heard the U.S.A. record yet, prepare to find Broadcast a lot less interesting.

I had Metaphysical Circus filed for years just because, but when I actually pulled it out and played it last year I could not even get through the whole album.

The bassist on the self-titled record's cover looks SERIOUSLY INTO IT.
