American Football

Post-rock
Post-rockPunk rock

American Football is a Post-rock and Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Hayley Williams, Alison Krauss, Iron & Wine, C-Clamp and You Blew It!. Those roots explain a lot about how American Football arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Owen, Algernon Cadwallader, The Hotelier, Braid and You Blew It!, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Balance and Composure, Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate), TTNG, Turnover and Tricot, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 48 connections around American Football, reaching back through Hayley Williams and forward to Balance and Composure. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
