The American Breed is a Garage rock act. Their sound grew out of Chris Kenner and The Everly Brothers. Those roots explain a lot about how The American Breed arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Association, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Grass Roots, The Young Rascals and Tommy James & The Shondells, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Three Dog Night, Gilla, Styx, Chaka Khan and Rufus, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 23 connections around The American Breed, reaching back through Chris Kenner and forward to Three Dog Night.
