While PUSA, or the Presidents of the United States of America, have had the benefit of moderate celerity during the last decade, the band hasn’t managed to get the same rate of success since 2004, when the band reunited. However, PUSA might return to the top ten chart soon, as some of the band’s albums are now available for download through Apple’s App Store.

The application is available both for the iPhone and for the iPod Touch and comes at a price tag of $2.99. For this money, users get the four albums of the band. Other extras will be available in the near future, according to the developers. The application was developed by Melodeo, a digital content company from Seattle.

It is arguable whether people will fall in love with the band, now that its tunes are available on the App Store, but this application might be the start of a true revolution in music distribution. If developers embrace the idea soon enough, it means that any user will be able to browse through the App Store and download digital music easier than ever. Of course, people can already download music through iTunes, but they still cannot take their music with them everywhere they want to.

Nevertheless, this idea wasn’t new, but few developers thought that Apple would like to let music content spread through the App Store. This is because it would create an internal competition with Apple’s own iTunes platform. Yet, analysts pointed out that the App Store might be a good way for newcomers in the music industry to become more popular.

Moreover, music distribution through an app format means that there will be no need to sell each song separately. It remains to be seen whether Apple will let this trend to expand in the near future.
