American Football: Rock Band in New York

About American Football

American Football is a Midwest emo band formed in Urbana, Illinois, active briefly in the late 1990s before returning to regular work in the 2010s. Their songs lean on interlocking guitars, restrained rhythm, and plainspoken vocals, with a focus on structure and mood rather than display. In New York City they bring that catalog to the Brooklyn Paramount, where the material reads differently at full volume in a large room. They have shared bills with Ian Sweet.
