The American Music Club have been one of my favorite bands since I first heard California back in the late '80s. They've got a new album due out February 19 and it's very strong. In other words, I'm playing it over and over. Here's a track off it.
San Francisco based rockers American Music Club will release The Golden Age(Merge) February 19, the follow up to 2004's Love Songs For Patriots, explains a spokesperson for the band.

As a North American living in the Netherlands, I am provided with a privledge of a ton of things I probably couldn't do if I were living back America. Aside from the obvious tolerated soft drug policies, I can see bands that play bigger venues in the States perform at smaller clubs in Europe. I've seen Bob Mould with 120 people in the crowd. Girl Talk, TV on the Radio, The Hold Steady, all with a crowd of less than 200.This week, American Music Club "rocks" out to what ... MORE
At the moment I'm listening to the new American Music Club (The Golden Age)...out Feb 19th, 2008 on Merge (in the interest of full disclosure, my employer, at least for the next few weeks)...some beautiful stuff on here...got me in quite the wistful mood...that Eitzel sure can croon...and on this outing he's cut back on the vitriol and anger a little bit (at least compared to L...

American Music Club are one of the great San Francisco bands. They were indie before anyone really used that term.
This track, "Rise," is very powerful, and is off Everclear.
