Let this be the thread where we talk about whatever band you recently can't stop listening to, or you just discovered and you think the rest of the world needs to find out and talk about it. Who knows... opening up people to new bands could inspire them someway to write something new or different.

Some of you may already be listening to them. I can't stop listening myself. Let me know what you guys think.

From Wikipedia
United Nations is a grindcore supergroup whose roots go back to at least 2005. [1] They refer to their musical genre as "emo-power-violence." [2]
The band was started by Daryl Palumbo, vocalist of Glassjaw and Head Automatica, and Geoff Rickly, the vocalist/lyricist of the band Thursday. Other artists involved in the project possibly include Ben Koller, drummer for Converge; Christopher "Chree" Conger, former drummer of The Number 12 Looks Like You; bassist Eric Cooper of Made Out of Babies; and Jonah Bayer of The Lovekill. However, due to contract obligations of all members except Rickly, the official lineup isn't well-known, with the exception of Rickly and Palumbo. [3] [4] Since Rickly is the only member whose primary band is currently not under contract, his name is the only one that can legally appear in press materials. [5] Press photos of the band released in 2008 depict 4 people wearing Ronald Reagan masks. [6]
The band will release their self-titled debut on September 9, 2008 through Eyeball Records. Only 1,000 physical CDs were pressed and will be sold exclusively through the Eyeball Records webstore due to copyright issues with the album's cover. [5] The cover features essentially the same photo used for the iconic cover of The Beatles' Abbey Road, with the exception of The Beatles engulfed in flames and walking to the left rather than the right.
The band plans to follow up their debut with a 7-inch single on Deathwish Inc. titled Never Mind the Bombings, Here's Your Six Figures, which may potentially face similar copyright issues due to the title and cover's parodying of the Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. In an interview with MTV, Rickly confirmed that the band already had enough material for a second full-length album that could see a release in early 2009
