Between last weekend’s Jawbreaker reunion show and this Saturday’s American Football concert, White Oak Music Hall has become ground zero for old school punk and emo diehards to congregate and listen to bands come around on tour when that idea would have been inconceivable just a few years ago. In 2014, the band reunited and sold out a weekend’s worth of shows in New York City in minutes. 2016 saw LP2, emo’s answer to mbv, 2013’s long-awaited return to form from shoe-gaze pioneers My Bloody Valentine. Since then, “Never Meant” has become a meme far extending the reach any devotee of mid-western turn-of-the-century emo could ever imagine, a fitting metaphor for how easily adaptable American Football’s music is in 2019. This year’s LP3 is a starkly adult record that attests to the unexpected but welcome growth of one of the best emo bands of all time.
