The Helsinki-based five-piece rock band Us has been winning over British Japanese audiences with their unique blend of garage rock, punk, and rhythm 'n' blues. Their explosive live energy and catchy rock songs have been brilliantly captured on their debut album Underground Renaissance, originally released in the fall of 2024. Underground Renaissance is now being released on vinyl by Playground Music sublabel Lördag. In 2024 the band played nine shows at Glastonbury festival in the UK and six shows at Fuji Rock Festival in Japan. During the same year Us also released their debut album Underground Renaissance. The album has received praise from such magazines as Rolling Stone Japan, Mojo Magazine, Shindig! and Classic Rock Magazine. The songs have also enjoyed numerous plays on BBC 6 radio. In live reviews Us has been compared to early Arctic Monkeys and The Hives with Mojo Magazine describing their "blistering 3 AM show" at Glastonbury as "Dr. Feelgood-style punk-blues with the vigor of peak Ramones."

The second release from Trust comes from the duo Us. Trust, Cocoon artist Julien Bracht's own label, engraves three tracks on wax that present noise as original as can be. The title-track by the duo Us, namely Louis McGuire and Markus Nikolaus aka Cunt Cunt Chanel, is a straight-up soulful blend, thick with the commanding charm of Markus' velveteen vocal underpinned by McGuire's pulsating beat -- as hypnotic as it is powerful. Julien's "Space is Heaven Rmx" captures the hard, dry sound of a live-jam between the pair, while his heady Trust Mix promptly quashes any doubts left hanging.
