Damn. So where do I begin talking about American Football?

I should totally start by giving credit to Emo V. for turning me onto the band in 1999... I was immediately taken in when I heard the name of the band for the first time. The pedigree of the band is also pretty fucking amazing, the band is made up by members who were a part of: Cap'n Jazz, Joan Of Arc, Owen, The Firebird Band and a few more that I can't recall off the top of my head...

The band only played very few live shows and it's a badge of Emo cred to have seen them in them at the Fireside Bowl...

The band recently had their stuff get re-released on Polyvinyl and the band has announced 4 shows in October. 3 of which (Webster Hall - nYc) have already sold out.

I picked up an "early bird" version of the re-release which means I have a green/yellow marble version of the album. A second lp (yellow) is also included and it reported has demos and live shit that I haven't gotten around to spinning yet.

I listened to it for the first time at work on Friday, but I gave it a proper listen at home before coming into the office this Morning.

I can't wait to listen to the second part of this re-release later in the week.
