The American Life bring forth a unique sound that blends the best elements of pop/punk, synth-rock, and dance rock music. The band officially began in the spring of 2007 and with writing and recording being their primary focus, they immediately jumped into action and began the writing process that would later become their debut album "All The Things I've Grown To Miss." The American Life's self recorded and self produced debut, which was released in 2008, is a powerful rock album with thick guitars, energetic synth lines, pulsating drums, anthem lyrics, and catchy melodies that beg the listener to sing along. Upon the albums release in 2008 the band was also fortunate enough to release the album in Japan through Kick Rock Music in September.
In April '08, the band made their way to Atlanta, GA to enlist the help of some of todays greatest producers in the pop/rock industry, Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount (All Time Low, Hit The Lights, Cartel, Mayday Parade, Every Avenue). The American Life is dedicated to creating an up-beat, intense musical experience for everyone listening.
The band has shared the stage with bands such as: Forever the Sickest Kids, Mayday Parade, The Maine, The Cab, Four Year Strong, The Higher, My American Heart, Danger Radio, Ivoryline, There For Tomorrow, National Product, Breathe Carolina, Nevershoutnever!, Josephine Collective, Tokyo Rose, The Ataris, and countless others. TAL was also featured on the Vans Warped Tour in the summer of 2007. The group will be hitting the road touring the country in an effort to promote their debut album and their exciting live show. With 7 members, a TAL concert is anything but boring, and with the multiple personalities that the band has to offer, there is no limit to their energy on stage.
