I love the album *American Football* but I prefer the predecessor, *American Football.* Of course, neither can top the classic sound of *American Football.*
I love that cut at 16:54 to the bassist and drummer playing while the kids are singing. The look of pride and happiness is so earnest and so great to see.
At this point I’ve heard Never Meant so many times that I don’t care that they didn’t play it. Also, the new album is absolutely incredible so it’s a win either way.
Their whole current career is built on Never Meant, let's not kid ourselves. I love most of their stuff, don't get me wrong, but if it weren't for Never Meant they would be a somewhat forgotten band only appreciated by die hard 90s emo fans.
@@edunogues23 My personal favorite is "Stay Home," but we can't deny that they are sort of the one hit wonder of obscure bands. I'm so happy they are touring again, but the reason they are able to do that at all is because of "Never Meant."
I just keep coming back to this set. their latest album has been witness of all that ive been through these last 2 years. I dont know what it is, but their lyrics to me show a lot of nostalgia and sadness while their music makes me hopeful for the future.
I watched this like 30 times before they released it on UA-cam and it’s one of the most gorgeous things In the entire fucking world they’ve aged wonderfully and their music is so close to my heart
Mike Kinsella came to the bar I worked at after a gig once. I wanted to buy him a shot, he asked for Malort. :/ But hey, I took a shot with Mike Kinsella.
I'm pretty sure that's the same guy they had a couple years back when I saw them. Everyone in the audience was gassing him up after someone asked a question about him. He got a round of applause as he left the stage.
I really like this bands music and sound. I watched this video just after waking up and really enjoyed them until I realized how much like Bob Saget the xylophone player looks! I think I like them even more now!
Yeah they didnt saturate it in reverb that was like 3.7 times longer than it should’ve been, and put a gentle compression, and didn’t let Mike eat the mic. That set has the worst vocal mixing. Frustrating.
Maaaann he needs to warm up before playing concerts. His voice is clearly better by the time they play Heir Apparent. They should also start adding chorus vocals for the entire song if they aren't going to add it electronically. His voice is much wider on the album and adding chorus vocals would really fill the sound that's slightly missing in their live performances. Instrumentally it's fucking amazing. Good stuff NPR.
Was blown away surprised when we to Atlanta for a Hella show, and then I saw the next band setting up and knew kinsella’s equipment like a dork. It was a side project, make believe I think. Shirt had a rabbit. What a throwback.

@qweas dzxvc Yessir.
I didn't get this joke till i looked up all their albums are the same name...
I thought they only has 1 album this whole time.
Don’t forget American Football EP which is also very good
what about americ anfootball?
Lp 2 was so blah it hurt
I love that cut at 16:54 to the bassist and drummer playing while the kids are singing. The look of pride and happiness is so earnest and so great to see.
Aren't they some kids of them? or at least that what they said in the KEXP live
sad toot
😞🎺
You mean
sa
d toot
You know them better, Polyvinyl.
SAD DAD
Dad, i- is that you?
The children’s chorus was such a wonderful touch. Brought tears to my eyes. LP3 is amazing.
00:00 "Every Wave To Ever Rise
"
07:53 "Uncomfortably Numb"
12:21 "Heir Apparent"
Thank you bun always look for time stamps
You missed the trumpet solo

@@inflago true but imo its overrated. So many better songs in the 1st album(I still love it dont get me wrong)
Edu Nogués I agree with you to an extent! For example summer ends, I’ll see you when we both are not so emotional are some of my favs from that record
@@edunogues23 My personal favorite is "Stay Home," but we can't deny that they are sort of the one hit wonder of obscure bands. I'm so happy they are touring again, but the reason they are able to do that at all is because of "Never Meant."
@@inflago I guess the other songs on the album never meant much to people Dxx. Yeah I agree. And stay home is my fav too,such a beautiful track!
there are certain moments in life that just require listening to this band
100%
And for me this is the right moment
Super dope.
MMA On Point man I love ur content so nice to see u here
I wonder if it's jason
Weird to see mma fans and American football fans overlapping lol
@@stephenlangdon5797 I mean, it makes sense when you consider that Ben Rosett does their opening music
WO POSTED THIS?! THE HEART? TOMMY TOEHOLD?!
Vibrophone fella making this quarantine much better.
Listening to American Football on the radio, travelling the long interstates in a cold lonely night, true feeling of bliss.
I find it so amazing that they sound just as good live as they do on the track

an emo cheer of joy from someone too young to have experienced emo in its prime, but still gets to listen to new americ anfootball
Thought Hayley Williams would be there for Uncomfortably Numb, would have been magical. Still good
Idk if i would be able to stop watching it tbh
My man's snare drum is set up lower than my standards
Lol
I laughed like an idiot for this comment
We've been waiting 20 years for this
Mike's vocals solid in this
Mike Kinsella came to the bar I worked at after a gig once. I wanted to buy him a shot, he asked for Malort. :/ But hey, I took a shot with Mike Kinsella.
Guy vibing out on a xylophone........

Such a beautiful instrument✨
He really be vibin doe 😳😳
I'm pretty sure that's the same guy they had a couple years back when I saw them. Everyone in the audience was gassing him up after someone asked a question about him. He got a round of applause as he left the stage.
Shaker dude have incredibly steady hands.
Who’s cutting onions? 😭
Sarah Versprille has such a lovely and unique voice, she killed the guest vocals on these tracks
wow, that was a really nice set
Sarah from Pure Bathing Culture just standing humbly in the background?? She's amazing!!
This gives me those sad dad blues that not even a trip to Lowe's can fix. And I don't even have kids.
Currently driving my F150 to IKEA while listening to this. Its 2 am
We need more Emo.
Their sound is so beautiful I don't get it
Giorgio Fuentes It’s really special, right?

@@laketownmusic midwest emo in general really.
Heir Apparent so fooking emotional! WOHOOOOOO!!!
HOW COME I ONLY SAW THIS NOW
I want an acoustic version of Silhouettes so bad please dads make it happen
I really like this bands music and sound. I watched this video just after waking up and really enjoyed them until I realized how much like Bob Saget the xylophone player looks! I think I like them even more now!
Vibraphone*
Sarah Versprille does a great job on this! She nails Uncomfortably Numb.
Better vocals than on KEXP imo
Yeah they didnt saturate it in reverb that was like 3.7 times longer than it should’ve been, and put a gentle compression, and didn’t let Mike eat the mic.

sad dads unite
I wish they'd get Delta Sleep on here
Thanks for this piece of clarity
dat burguer king employees chorus at the end....

Little shaky at first, but damn, the end nearly had me in tears
Yes

i live for the trumpet opening before uncomfortably numb my god
So joyful
sad toot is too beautiful
The pants got some oooozin' and aaaah's. Awesome Tiny Desk Concert.
Such a fun band i've been obsessed with uncomfortably numb ever since it came out recently
Love from Italy
They should have at least 1 milion views, when I think about emo music I think American Football
Been in Lockdown for so long that I just assumed the crowd noise was fake
Mike kinsella is a genius
How did I miss this
From 16:10 on goosebumps all along
drums sick
Uh, somehow I missed this entire thing? That they reunited. Like, where have I been? 😄
I love these guys!
YES!! Thank you!!!
this is just good coldplay
Awesome
beautiful
Ok those kids are great
Wow! I did not expect this. Awesome
Thank you!
That was wonderful.
So goooooood
Dude tears
*cries*
For some reason, I have a sudden craving for some Burger King...
como arma las vocales el cantante me hace acordar a ian anderson
Excellent!
I wonder if those kids realize how cool they are.
wished hayley williams could tag along too but nevertheless american football is top notch
anFootball is easily my favorite album by Americ
just realize Laura Dern is in this band
How am I just now seeing this??
@NPR Music
How about you finally invite VULFPECK? about time!
I second this notion
@@jordanhartmann1745 Imma commit to write this under each posting until it happens 🐺💘

Never meant is not on the setlist ;-;
1999 anyone?
The lessons
Should have performed doom in full bloom, the best song off their latest album
they sound so much like this band Americ Anfootball
Make Emo Great Again !!
I love American football. Why did you name a band after the greatest sport of all time?
Imagine being this talented 🤩🤩
This is so pretty

American Football TKM
Two words: Never Meant
*Rob Scallon has entered the chat*
American Football, also known as Sad Dads
Also known as americ anfootball
Nah, that title belongs to The National.
Spam singles 😂
also knon as I'm Eric and Food Bowl
16:55 Is Proud Dads
my favourite album by americ is anfootball (1999)
wat
@@CamKnoppMusic the '99 album picture cuts off the text so it reads americ
an football
Hot take: anfootball (2015) by americ is underrated
@@musyarofah1 no your just wrong it goes
LP1 - LP3 - LP2
hahahaha brilliant!
what’s with all these emo drummers being able to play trumpets
ever wonder where all the sad ska kids went? they wound up drumming in emo bands.
probably former marching band kids
Emo kids know a lot of instruments. The singer of American Football was originally a drummer for an Emo band called Cap'n Jazz.
I don't know why, but drummers who play trumpets seem so fricking cool to me.
It’s crazy you say that because I transitioned from trumpet to drums lol
