bright guitars with circular, floating melodies.American Football consists of vocalist/bassist/guitarist Mike Kinsella, guitarist Steve Holmes and drummer/trumpet player Steve Lamos. Kinsella's emo/post-rock pedigree includes stints with bands like Cap'n Jazz and Joan of Arc; American Football shares a similar esthetic, blending jazzy tempos, pop hooks and earnest vocals into their sound. The group released their self-titled debut album in 1999. Moods: Bittersweet, Melancholy, Brooding.

  2. Yah-Shua says American Football is a great band, and greatly underappreciated/under-noticed... its nice to see that someone else has a special place in their heart for one of the bands responsible for waking me up to indie/emo music
