Biografia

The re-activation of American Steel, which had started as an off-the-cuff idea in early 2007, was by mid-year a full blown reality. The group’s four original members, who had thrown around the idea of getting back together for some time, decided to start with a house show and see where it went from there. Soon after, long-time friends, Fat Wreck Chords, offered to put out a record, and the group took them up on it, checking into the studio immediately. The result is the first new American Steel record in six years, Destroy Their Future.

In its earliest incarnation, American Steel was a band that sought to absorb influences at the far ends of the musical spectrum – Crass, Fang, The Clash, East Bay pop punk, Irish folk songs, motown, soul – and outstrip them all in both melody and intensity. Starting in 1995 as a loosely organized trio who traded turns at the mic (and occasionally instruments), the group soon recruited a permanent drummer and invested in amps, tuners, and eventually a van, and embarked on a five-year run of touring that would see them criss-crossing the North American continent dozens of times, starting in basements and backyards and eventually crossing into the club circuit.

American Steel’s recorded output is as different from song to song as it is from album to album. The first three American Steel records (1998’s Untitled, 1999’s Rogue’s March, and 2001’s Jagged Thoughts, all of which were recorded by Kevin Army), each take an innovative, complex, and sometimes schizophrenic approach to songwriting.
