Critic Rudy Pannuci (Pop Cult, Charleston Gazette) recently described US: "...a pure delight...Their sound is solidly in the power pop school of Cheap Trick and The Knack...they sound like a very hard-edged version of The Shoes...This CD is perfectly at home beside of your Replacements CDs...it has a timeless quality..."
Future Magazine in Valencia, Spain, said in their October 2014 edition, that US is "...delicious well-crafted power-pop with an uncompromising rock core. Between the Lines has no bad songs..."
US is also getting airplay on many indie, satellite and other internet live feed radio stations / podcasts in the US, England and Spain. The tune, "Broken Lullaby" has recently received airplay on the Police (as in Sting et al.) radio network on Sirrus-chosen by the artists themselves.
