Passage

Us on Roofs From the seaside town of Gig Harbor, WA, Us on Roofs was formed by three friends with a mutual love for the Pacific Northwest and mid-twentieth century science-fiction. Their songs range from dark cynicism to exuberant gaiety, from spacey time-signature changes that flirt with the weightlessness of interplanetary travel to joyful grooves that make the all-ages crowd dance. Carl Sagan once said, “[W]e have the power to decide the fate of our planet and ourselves. This is a time of great danger, but our species is young, and curious, and brave. It shows much promise.” With his words in mind, Us on Roofs continues to write, record, and perform live. If we do not destroy ourselves, we will one day venture to the stars!

Press:

"With song titles like "Dreams of Trees" and "Stones in the River" it's clear why Gig Harbor's Us on Roofs cite poet Robert Frost as an influence. Combining melodic guitar riffs, superior songwriting, and sincere vocals, this band skillfully translates naturalist themes into catchy indie rock that is both refreshing and quintessentially Northwest."
-Sound Off Panel

"From Gig Harbor, Us On Roofs specialize in sweet vocal melodies that aren’t afraid to explore the shadows of those little garden paths down by the river. The result is uplifting and triumphant, a national anthem within the boundaries of your heart."
