ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE:06/12/2001
VARIANT: Half Clear / Half Black Vinyl LP

Though singer Wes Eisold kicks off American Nightmares debut album with the words This is the soundtrack to saying goodbye, Background Music marked a riotous introduction not just for the Boston band, but for a broader scene of early 00s youth crew revivalists mixing defiantly melodic hardcore hooks with achingly personal wordplay. Poetic and punishing, its a record that betrays its album title, demanding to be cranked as loud as possible.

This exclusive LP vinyl variant is on Half Clear / Half Black and limited to only 250 copies, so order yours today!
