Artist description Hailing from Nashville, TN this band blends the power of Metallica, the intensity of Pearl Jam, and the cerebral imagery of Pink Floyd into one melodic musical statement. Originally formed in 1996 in Okinawa, Japan these prior US Air Force members used to jam after work and eventually became a solid band that would entertain thousands of fans at some of the biggest outdoor venues. Feeling they had music to share with the rest of the world, they packed their bags in 1999 to return home to the States. Since then, CSU has been hitting the Nashville scene with the same raw energy and strong musicianship that many bands desire. Please listen and become one with the Union!
