American War
In the back room of a crowded punk house in Kent, OH, there is a crowd gathered around a man playing an acoustic guitar while singing his heart out. Every person surrounding him is smiling and singing along as loud as they can, and you wish all in the same second that everyone would shut up so you could hear his voice and music clearly, or that you knew every word to every song so you could scream along. Playing his songs under the name of American War, Matt Scheuermann has the ability to captivate audiences with songs that can remind one of a year far gone, and yet seem far ahead of their time.
