American Football - Never Meant (Reading 2015)

My band was compared to these rad dudes once
Was pretty cool

But we are a punk band?


Anyhow great band

wow that drummer is so good while on that posture

Incredible

I think it’s very beautiful that, no matter if you’ve only heard it once or you’re a fan, everyone gets excited when they hear the intro to Never Meant.

the one thing thats bothered me about this song is that it fades out in the studio recording. i just watched this live recording for the first time, and got the chills hearing the song end on the harmonic chord. that shouldve been in the song in the first place.. amazing song regardless

This performance is perfect despite its flaws. Adds too the vibe

mike kinsella is god

😎

Wtf they misspelled their band name, it's

"And we can listen to American Football, and talk about highschool. Just like we did the years before..."

What is the Ohio of the UK?

they look so midwest

This is so beautiful. And so subtly math rock. I think it feels extremely natural and that's what makes it work. A lot of math rock stuff is meant to show off virtuosity but it sacrifices emotion in doing so. This song hits on both. It's both technically impressive for musicians to listen to, but people with no sense of music theory can also appreciate it. I think that's really hard to do IMO. I see a lot of musicians who make music for experienced musicians and a lot of musicians who make music for people that don't play a lick. I'm always impressed when a band is able to impress both audiences equally because those audiences are so different.

Divorce more emo than break up

emo dad, 1999

This song ...was the song..for its time n place :')

dude on dude shoulders?

Possibly one of the greatest songs ever written.

Tempo is so fast.. 😅😅 the original tempo is tad bit slower

everybody gangsta until the second riff hits..

Found these guys on tiktok. Ehy the hell have i never heard of them???!!!

Went from being a college band that made a one project one summer to becoming cult legends in a small but great genre of music

when your homie didn't share the last slice

Great drum sound

Sound pretty good for how old they are

Hits hard tho 🔥

If the 2nd guitar entry in this song's intro doesn't give you chills... Idk what will.

the drummer needs to lower his seat

Live vocals = no bueno.

wow, this guy's singing is so horrible live

Mike not sounding good here

Im so jealous, some of the audiences have their gf/bf with them

To be honest, I came here because of the meme.

This isn’t what I was expecting when I searched American Football in BBC

Vocals are all over the place!

The arpeggio is just wonderfully beautiful.

I just think its best. Cos you can't miss what you forget

Soft rock renegades...
