America is the sum of its' current citizens plus new immigrants. The proportion of "Us" to "Them" is not always constant. Most importantly, the "Them" eventually become the "Us". It's just a matter of time. For all of "us", there was a time when "we" were "them". When do "them" become "us? When they learn English? When he or she obtains a drivers license? Is the incubation period the same for Europeans, Arabs, Asians or Africans? Somewhere along the line, the transformation occurs. For years, Garry Dial and Terre Roche have been talking about their project of national anthems, and they are excited to release Us An'Them, a CD that pays homage to the immigrants... who eventually become Americans.

  • A previously unreleased outtake from the scandalously undersung Roche sisters - 'Moonruns' / NPR
    Posted At: November 3, 2022
    NPR's Ann Powers writes….Precocity has become the norm in the TikTok-teened, Disney-fied pop world.

  • Garry Dial & Terre Roche create a 'US An' them'
    Posted At: August 12, 2013

    In the beginning of the project, 17 years ago, Garry and I picked the anthems out of books according to no particular motive. We began to arrange them and make tapes of ourselves singing and playing them. Over the years we replaced ourselves with people from the different countries involved. In the process, we encountered various responses. Some people felt reverent and patriotic. Some people didn't ...
