American Men

-

American Men are a 4-piece synthetic rock band formed of Claude Speed, Alilloyd, Scottt Chevrolet & Steven Shade - members of Dananananakroyd and other obscure and fantastic Scottish Rock bands.

We met Claude years ago when we were still teens selling trainers together. Years later we heard he was transposing his guitar songs to synths and making this weird cut-up electronica with hip hop acapellas. It was Hud Mo who freaked out over the American Men demos. Etched midi songs with 8 plays a piece sitting on myspace. But that's whats different about this band. The writing came first. These guys are all excellent musicians so their sound formed in the process of making Cool World. Before that the promise of this band was in their arrangement and beautiful chord progressions. Prog' for a generation raised on Boards of Canada and short attention spans - evoking childhood visions of the future; laser etched nazca lines; a city of pyramids and modernist skyscrapers.

We didn't really know back then that in the year of forming Cool World they would become such a great live show attracting attention from some fo the hottest names in electronic and rock music. Everyone from NME XLR8R, Vice, URB, Dazed & Fact noticed Am Men's debut. But where they go from here is to the Gods.
