About USPOP

Americans. Britpop music. USPOP. USPOP is not a cover band. Not a tribute band either. They’re an American Britpop band. They write their own songs. Yes, they do know how to play Wonderwall and Parklife and Live Forever and Common People, thanks for asking.

USPOP [rhymes with “bus stop”] is recognized as the starting point for the American Britpop revival in Minneapolis. The band embraces British popular guitar music of the mid-1990’s that re-surfaced as part of 21st century American culture, merging North American themes with British pop iconography to form a self-proclaimed “northern” sensibility in the American indie music scene.

Fake accents, real music – USPOP.
