With two studio albums already under their belt, Washington, D.C.'s These United States is preparing to release their third full-length album, Everything Touches Everything, later this year. Due to hit stores on September 1st via Colorado-based United Interests, the release of Everything Touches Everything will arrive just a year and a half after the band's debut. That first record, A Picture Of The Three Of Us At The Gate To The Garden Of Eden, come out back in March of last year and was followed just six months later by the band's much-praised, sophomore effort Crimes in late September.

Led by frontman and prolific songwriter songwriter Jesse Elliot, These United States, whose current line-up also includes Robby Cosenza, J. Tom Hnatow, Justin Craig, and Colin Kellogg, will be spending much of the rest of the summer out on the road. A stripped-down, acoustic version of the band was in Charlottesville back in March opening for Plants and Animals at iS Venue, but the closest tour date this time around takes place at The Black Cat in D.C. on August 29th.
