NEUROT

Artist: U.S. CHRISTMAS Title: Eat The Low Dogs
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
NR058CD
Price: $13.00 Label: Neurot
Release
Date:
6/2/08
***Originally formed in the summer of 2002, U.S. Christmas has steadily evolved into a full-blown psychedelic assault. The music cannot be ignored. It hurts people, physically and mentally. It stirs intense feelings of pain, frustration, loss, fear, and-- occasionally-- euphoria.

The band always plays at deafening volumes, and guitarist Nate Hall frequently uses multiple amp setups for a thick, layered sound. Rhythm section Tim Greene and John Presnell hit the low-end, and Matt Johnson often mans guitar and theremin simultaneously. Chad Davis is able to handle any musical duties at any time. Shows are chaotic and unpredictable, riddled with sythesizer and theremin spasms. Images are projected onto the stage, the ceiling, or performers themselves. Many a drunken bystander has been drawn to the theremin's magic antennae.

Their first recording, Prayer Meeting, authentically captured the sound of the band at the time, and the same can be said for Bad Heart Bull, Salt The Wound, and U.S. Christmas's latest full-length, Eat The Low Dogs. All four albums were recorded live, by the band, either in stifling heat or nut-shriveling cold. Snare drums rattle, amps hum and pop, dogs bark in the background. But that's the way it always sounds, and the band doesn't see any point in changing a method that works.

U.S. Christmas has shared bills with some of the world's best heavy bands, including High on Fire, Weedeater, DOVE, Place of Skulls, Orange Goblin, ATP, Graves at Sea, Scissorfight, Red Sparowes, Atomic Bitchwax, and Kylesa.

NEUROT RECORDINGS

Artist: U.S. CHRISTMAS Title: S/T
Format: 12" Catalog
Number:
NR056
Price: $7.75 Label: Neurot Recordings
Release
Date:
12/3/07
***Formed in the summer of 2002 in the wilds of North Carolina, U.S. Christmas has steadily evolved into a full-blown psychedelic space rock assault. The band makes music that cannot be ignored. U.S. Christmas hurts people-- physically and mentally. The music stirs intense feelings of pain, frustration, loss, fear--and occasionally, euphoria.

U.S. Christmas was one of the first unsigned bands to send a CD to Combat Music Radio, the internet music show hosted by Neurosis's Scott Kelly. It wasn't long before the band heard from Kelly, who frequently played their songs on KMBT. This friendship lead to a release agreement with Neurot Recordings.

This four-song vinyl EP precedes the band's full length Eat The Low Dogs, currently set for a March 2008 release.

"Those who appreciate the heavier, tripped out side of music should give these guys a shot. They bring something unique to the table." --Stonerrock.com
