American Television

**American Television** is a Philly-based post-hardcore/emo band that’s been dishing out raw, heartfelt tunes since forming in the late 2010s. Known for blending punchy guitar riffs with introspective lyrics, their sound nods to ‘90s emo pioneers like Jawbreaker while carving out a modern niche. Tracks like "You Are Not Alone" and "Scars" showcase their knack for pairing anthemic hooks with themes of resilience, mental health, and societal angst, making their music feel like a cathartic late-night chat with a close friend.

The band’s DIY ethos and energetic live shows have earned them a grassroots following, especially after dropping emotionally charged tracks like "Great Divide" and "Watch It Burn." Their recent releases, including "Standing Still" and "Death Defier," lean into gritty, melodic punk energy while keeping lyrics deeply personal. Whether they’re dissecting youthful uncertainty in "Adolescence" or tackling systemic issues in "Officer," American Television stays anchored in authenticity, proving they’re not just a band—they’re a survival guide for the disillusioned.
