Paisley Underground

For their first release as Us, the band (formerly known as Grandmother Corn) found inspiration in the Californian musical subculture of the early 1980s known as the Paisley Underground. Itself a direct revival of the acid-drenched ’60s, the movement was spearheaded by such college radio bands as The Bangles, The Dream Syndicate, Green on Red, The Long Ryders, The Rain Parade, The Three O’Clock and True West. With its heavy droning guitars, crisp drumming, and punkish lead vocal, Us‘ ‘Paisley Underground‘ is a worthy new addition to the canon.
