The discography of American Football, an American rock and emo band, comprises three studio albums, two extended plays (EP), four singles and eight music videos. Because all three albums are eponymous, they are known as LP1, LP2, and LP3. The band was formed in 1997 in Urbana, Illinois, by Mike Kinsella, Steve Lamos, and Steve Holmes while they were students at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. A year later, they released a self-titled EP, followed by their debut studio album, American Football (LP1), in 1999. LP1's music and enigmatic cover art, which shows a green tinted picture of a white house in Urbana, developed a word-of-mouth cult following, and is considered a central influence on the 2010s emo revival. In 2016, they released their sophomore album, American Football (LP2), which reached number 82 on the Billboard 200 and number 3 on the Independent Albums chart. They followed up with American Football (LP3), and an extended play of early demos, Year One Demos, in 2019. (Full list...)
