U.S.E is an all-inclusive, dance pop band with a strong D.I.Y. spirit that has drawn comparisons to the likes of Junior Senior, Andrew W.K, and Daft Punk. The band's self-titled debut won over respected media outlets including Spin, Rolling Stone, Blender, Entertainment Weekly, GQ, Pitchfork and more. U.S.E has toured the U.S. and Japan (U.S.E had 2 'Top 5' singles on the Japanese pop charts - 'IT IS ON!' and 'Open Your Eyes' from its debut album, and beat out U2, Destiny's Child, Missy Elliott, etc), and has played festivals like Fuji Rock, Sasquatch, Bumbershoot, and Capitol Hill Block Party along the way. They've shared the stage with the likes of Death Cab For Cutie, The Hold Steady, Junior Senior, Aqueduct and more.Â

LOVEWORLD is the sound of a worldwide sing-along; a sonic vision that U.S.E has captured perfectly. What makes U.S.E so lovable is here in full effect: undeniably danceable disco-house beats, sultry vocal stylings, arena-sized hooks,soulful grooves and joyous, vocoder-laden melodies. LOVEWORLD expands upon the bands musical palette established on its debut, bursting with rich vocal harmonies, cinematic instrumental textures and deeper, soulful jams.

SPIN Magazine says of LOVEWORLD (September 2009 issue):Â 'Any indie dude can bawl a sad song, but singing a genuinely uplifting one is tougher. Conjuring the communal spirits of both club music and underground rock, this seven-piece Seattle act pack their emphatically nonautomated Europop with arena-rock guitars, giddy girlie vocals, and vocoders set to stun. Rewriting the rainbow positivity of old Philly soul anthems with an English-as-second-language earnestness that amplifies their band-of-outsiders bliss, these atypical party people ride a love train that doesn't stop chugging until the final track. They just won't allow you to mope.

Says Rolling Stone, "The West Coast beat masters in United State of Electronica have what you need building giddy techno smashes out of vocoder voices, disco beats, strings and Avalanches style soul samples."Â
