Union Young America

Here's a Canadian treat from the 90's. Union Young America hail from Guelph, Ontario and were around in the mid 90's. They play emo with a charged energetic sound and those vocals that sit somewhere between a throaty yell and whiny singing that I love so. That also depends on the song, though. "Dem's Be Fightin Words" is a slow burner with an aggressive sound. The vocals are throatier and do not have that whining quality on the other tracks. Or "What You Know" the final track has a sung chorus and almost crustier vocals with a shrill scream. This "Kill The Man In Everything" 7" is all of the current available material of the band. From the sounds of it these guys had a distinct sound but a good variety to their songs. It makes me wish there was more out there.
Two of the members went on to a group called "Thunder & Lightning" which I unfortunately do not appreciate in the same way. That being said there are other associated projects that I've yet to listen to.

All three tracks are available on the Myspace if you'd rather listen to them before downloading.
