Album Notes

American Boyfriends have been together in various forms for nearly 10 years.

Early on, Matt Johnson and Eric Harmon joined the Chainsaw Kittens, touring the world with many national acts including Iggy Pop, the Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer to name a few.

During this period Matt Goad did double duty with American Boyfriends and the Starlight Mints.

All the while, he and Richard York continued to write songs and bring in other musicians to help realize their vision of rock & roll with a melody.

Matt Goad would eventually leave the Starlight Mints to devote himself to American Boyfriends full time and with the demise of the Kittens the four musicians have reunited in a celebratory fashion, shaking up the Oklahoma City band scene once again.

A headlining show at MOBfest in Chicago and opening spots with bands such as the Figgs and Mike Watt have created a strong following and demands for live shows have been pouring in.

American Boyfriends are currently promoting their first full-length album, What Love Can Be..., and playing frequent live shows.

Interesting stuff

I bought this on a lark after listening to one track at CD Baby. It's not exactly my thing, but I enjoyed the CD. Lyrics are excellent, musicality a bit less. But I'd recommend it.
