| U.S.E is an extremely positive, dance pop band with a strong D.I.Y. spirit that has drawn comparisons to the likes of B-52's, Alphabeat, and Daft Punk. The band won over a ton of respected media outlets including Spin, Rolling Stone, Blender (R.I.P.), Entertainment Weekly, GQ, Pitchfork and more. Spin said of its debut, "High energy, ultra positive dance tracks· U.S.E eschew irony but gleefully grab Junior Senior song craft, Daft Punk's Sonics and the B-52's rollicking moxie." Says Rolling Stone, "The West Coast beat masters in United State of Electronica have what you need building giddy techno smashes out of vocoder voices, disco beats, stings and Avalanches style soul sample." The band has toured the U.S. and Japan (U.S.E hit #2 on the pop charts beating out U2, Destiny's Child, Missy Elliott, etc), played festivals like Fuji Rock, Sasquatch, Bumbershoot, and Capitol Hill Block Party, along the way. They've shared the stage with the likes of Death Cab For Cutie, The Hold Steady, Junior Senior, Aqueduct, and more. LOVEWORLD is the sound of a worldwide sing-along, a sonic vision that U.S.E has captured perfectly. What makes U.S.E so lovable is here in full effect: drummer Jon e. Rock's undeniably danceable disco-house beats; divas Amanda Khanjian and Carly Nicklaus' sultry vocal stylings; guitarists Peter Sali and Jason Holstrom's arena-sized hooks; bassist Derek Chan’s foundational low- end; and Noah Star Weaver's joyous, vocoder-laden melodies. LOVEWORLD expands upon the bands musical palette established on its debut, bursting with rich vocal harmonies, cinematic instrumental textures, and deeper, soulful jams. If you were looking for your summer jam, look no further – U.S.E has you covered. LOVEWORLD will be preceded by three digital singles: All The World, out May 5, followed by We The People on June 16 and Dance With Me on July 21. Each of the singles will include a title track along with a b-side and remix. All releases will be available via Mannheim Worldwide and usemusic.com. |
