DC/Kentucky band These United States released their new album Crimes on September 23rd. Grab two MP3’s from it above. YANP points out that….

These United States are currently four guys that come from three of the best Lexington-related bands. Jesse writes the These United States songs, Mark plays as Vandaveer, and Robbie and Justin are two-thirds of Scourge of the Sea (and 100% of Fanged Robot). So if you’re from Lexington, this is almost as much of a supergroup as the New Pornographers or Broken Social Scene. And even though they might not have a fraction of those bands’ fame, to judge solely on Saturday’s performance, they’ve already started playing with a level of energy that suggests that nobody bothered to tell them.

NY’s turn. These United States are in town to play two NYC shows – tonight (9/29) at Cake Shop and then Tuesday at Union Hall. If you miss them this time around, I believe they’ll be back for CMJ. All tour dates below…
