Biography

American Football quietly released their self-titled debut album in 1999 during college, disbanding soon after only to reunite 15 years later to a growing fanbase in the underground/emo scene. Their debut album was ranked #6 on Rolling Stone’s “40 Greatest Emo Albums of All Time” list and Pitchfork hailed its deluxe reissue as the “most influential album in the genre.” The reunion led to two more self-titled albums, collaborations with artists like Hayley Williams and sold-out world tours.

In 2024, American Football celebrated the 25th anniversary of their debut album with the remastered "American Football (25th Anniversary Edition)," engineered by Jonathan Pines who worked on their original 1999 debut. The release was accompanied by "American Football (Covers)" featuring artists like Iron & Wine and Manchester Orchestra, showcasing the band's impact on the emo revival and their ability to transcend generational and geographic boundaries with their music.

Affinity adjacency to leading lifestyle names makes streetwear, music platforms, and lifestyle products the obvious play. This is the partner for awareness that feels like participation.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low

How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
