Dinosaur Jr. with Football (INACTIVE) and American Football

Dinosaur Jr., formed in Amherst, MA, by J Mascis, are known for their loud, feedback-heavy guitar sound, influencing late-'80s indie rock. Key albums include "You're Living All Over Me" and "Green Mind." Notable singles like "Freak Scene" and covers like "Just Like Heaven" built their legacy. After lineup changes and a breakup, the original trio reunited in 2005, producing albums like "Farm" (2009) and "Sweep It Into Space" (2021) with Kurt Vile. Dinosaur Jr.'s impact on alternative rock is iconic, with members also pursuing successful solo projects.

American Football, formed in Urbana, released their influential 1999 emo debut, reuniting 15 years later. They collaborated with Hayley Williams and San Holo, and their debut is a top-ranked emo album. Celebrating 25 years, their remastered edition features covers by Iron & Wine and Manchester Orchestra.
