Popwreckoning digs Untied States new LP



A very good review written by Marc G. Gray for the beautifully-designed webzine Popwreckoning. We wholeheartedly agree with the analysis of the term "indie rock".

"Remember when the term “indie rock” meant something? From Dischord Records bands like Rites of Spring and Fugazi to 1990s lo-fi staples like Pavement and Elliott Smith, indie rock used to mean that a band maintained a certain aesthetic of raw, do-it-yourself production, and it meant that they released their records on independent record labels.
