Untied States are putting the finishing touches on their latest effort, Retail Detail (hear some samples here, buy the album here), which debuts at the EARL on February 24th. This newest album is another giant step forward in the evolution of their sound, employing an even wider array of electronic sound mixed with devastatingly orchestrated punk rock riffs. The energy of an Untied States' live performance only adds to the brilliant song-writing and masssive sound that these gentlemen can create on record, so be sure to check this page often for upcoming shows.
Below are some free tracks from their last CD, Ineffable, by Design and a program listing. The last track on the album was mixed with loving care by the illustrious Kramer from Shimmy-Disc.

The Poem
"Noise can be a weapon of mass destruction in the wrong person's hands. Not quite avant-garde, not quite experimental, the noise-rock trio UNTIED STATES fill space as efficiently as any act on the local scene. Bells, bent strings, feverishly beaten drums, distressed vocals and synthesizer wails crash and bang before flourishing into hook-based punk melodies... Not only does the music drop jaws, but the band gives away copies of its self-released debut, Bird of the Blood Feather. How's that for anti-establishment?"
