BiografieUnited Nations: 'mid-'90s screamo revivalists'United Nations = a supergroup making decent music (members of Thursday, Converge, & Glassjaw)They admittedly borrow heavily from bands such as Orchid and Nation Of Ulysses. (They sound more like a contemporary/more aggressive yet poppy Portraits Of Past if you ask me.) Very heavy on the Nation Of Ulysses aesthetic... but do they possess the same intent or direction? (I would hope they do actually have the intention of revolution.)The members remain anonymous due to being under legally constricting contracts.This all begs the questions:Is this being influenced by - or co-opting a 'style?'Are you a revivalist if their is no corpse?If you stay true to the supposed ideals of Nation Of Ulysses or Orchid yet progress the revolutionary dialectics, isn't that Baader Brains? And haven't The Young Tigers warned of the coming of dubious imposters?Does free music sound better?READ THEIR WORDS (a VERY interesting interview I must say!)POLL(If United Nations actually live up to their words, I will withdraw my reservations. I will also take Glassjaw, Converge, and Thursday off of the list of those to demand revolutionary taxes from.)
