American Football formed in Urbana, Illinois in 1997 by frontman Mike Kinsella, guitarist Steve Holmes and drummer Steve Lamos.

They released their self-titled album in 1999, which went on to become one of the most acclaimed albums in the emo genre of the era. They broke up one year later, before reforming in 2014 with Kinsella’s cousin Nate on bass, releasing two more self-titled albums in 2016 and 2019.

In a four-star review of American football’s 2019 self-titled album  – which featured  Paramore ‘s  Hayley Williams  –  NME  wrote: “Third time’s a charm for American Football, as this new sequel to their seminal 1999 debut sees them expand into more exploratory, even jazzy territory. They’re a band revitalised.”
