These United States are giving away the first single for their upcoming album
What Lasts, due out July 20th. Over the summer they'll be playing a couple festivals and a whole lot of shows in the U.S. and Canada.
What Lasts is reportedly more serious than earlier records, written after songwriter Jesse Elliot's near drowning in Lake Michigan. The first single's sound is still upbeat, the same mellow southern rock, but with maybe more somber lyrics. Meet the guys
