Album Notes & Community Reviews

Emerging from the influential Louisville scene, the band's debut full-length proved highly influential within the development of late-90s midwest emo. Featuring sweeping, dynamic guitar work and Chris Higdon's impassioned vocals, 'U.S. Songs' perfectly marries the urgent aggression of post-hardcore with expansive, atmospheric songwriting.
