American Football formed in 1997 and disbanded in 2000, but gained wider acclaim over the next fifteen years and reunited in 2014 for a series of tour dates. Frontman Mike Kinsella has recently been active with his band Owenbut hasn’t released any new music under the American Football name. That, it seems, may soon change.
