The band initially formed as a humble University of Illinois rock group. They released their first album in 1999 to little fanfare. Over the following years, American Football steadily became a cult favorite via growing online buzz across early message boards and file sharing platforms. They finally reunited in 2014, and since, have released two more full length LPs, a live album and a memorable album of covers, which featured artists like Ethel Cain, Blondeshell, and Iron & Wine.

Check out the forthcoming project's album art and full track list below:
