American Football is an American rock band from Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, originally active from 1997 through 2000.
Mike Kinsella can do no wrong. I really hope American Football releases at least a new 7" at some point. I'd love to hear studio recordings of the new songs they've been playing live and teasing about.
Never Meant was the first song I heard by them on a mixed CD my friend game me in High School. Just realized they made a music video for that song years and years later.
Fantastic song. I always do my best to hold off listening to these guys during the summer. I highly recommended listening while on a fall walk if you haven't already.
Great great band. I know they have posted teasers about new material. I really hope it materializes soon.
@bradsonemanband Do you know where I can find the short clip Mike posted on Twitter (possibly Instagram?) a few months back that featured a new song? I remember you posting it somewhere on the forum but I can't seem to track it down
s/t is one of my all time fav albums - a fuckin monument - love the songs, the playing, the atmosphere, the production, the cover, everything... so many memories attached to it - rainy evenings/nights - petrichor - amazing
Love this band/album. So nostalgic, both as a piece of music, and because of memories attached to it. It's definitely one of the albums that got me into emo when it was still a dirty word for music fans.
I didn't find out about the band until the late 2000 Hot Topic Days, so I was way late on the bandwagon, haha.
I'm pretty sure Kinsella twitted something about recording some new songs a while ago... *fingers crossed*
yeah, he's been working on a new Owen album and he's posted little various clips of (supposedly) new AF songs on Instagram.
new Owen is always welcome (s/t and At Home are amazing, and the rest is pretty cool too), but A effing F would be whoa
just saw that, why are we looking at all the same things on FB right now Casey haha. im going to say that video doesnt mean anything just so im not disappointed later
I don't even know. American Football is one of my favorite albums ever, but I don't care if they ever put out anything else
I'm totally fine with them remaining a one and done band, but the bits of new stuff I've heard sound so beautiful and I would love some more beauty
Man, how would our circles even respond to a new AF album after this long. That would be just insanity.
