The Kids Are United

Writing by Stephanie Augello

These United States have released their latest full-length album.  They will be playing this Friday, June 15th, at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn.

                                                   

This week, alt-country band These United States released their fifth full-length album - a self-titled piece that expands upon the energy, fluidity and overall clever construction of their previously endeavors.  When speaking with Vermont publication Seven Days, front man Jesse Elliott referred to the album's themes as being about "people and places and all  the wacky shit" in this fair country.  This hard-touring group has also been dubbed by Paste Magazine the "Least Lazy Band in America," having played over 800 shows since 2008, which has included performances at South by Southwest and the CMJ Music Marathon.  You can stream "These United States" below, or pick up your own copy by following this link



Members Elliott, J. Thom Hnatow, Justin Craig, Anna Morsett and Aaron Latos will be opening for Willie Nelson on June 18th at the Shubert Theater in New Haven, CT.  If you happen to be in the NYC area tomorrow, June 15th (That's a Friday, kids...), check them out at Brooklyn's The Knitting Factory. If you live further down south, These United States will grace the stage at The Earl on Saturday, June 30th.
