About Me |

American Me is an early 90’s movie starring Edward Olmos about gang life in an LA prison. It’s a very violent and emotional movie, yet it really captures the audience. The movie was able to be very brutal and very passionate at the same time, and we kind of feel that it was a good parallel to our music.” So says vocalist Tony Tataje in description of where their band name comes from. He references a similar sentiment when discussing their debut album Heat, due out on Rise on Feb 19th. “We sort of use the gangster theme on the album, and it’s reflected both in the music and the art design, which has images of bullets and guns. We’re all pretty angry about a lot of things that are going on in the world, and in our personal lives as well, and it’s reflected in the lyrics. For example, the song Anfal Campaign, which was an invasion that Saddam Hussein did to the Curds, for us is a metaphor that refers to some previous relationships. Those involved came in and invaded our lives, and then messed them all up. As you can see, the album process was pretty cathartic for us.” The album was recorded and produced at Interlace Audio with Kris Crummet (Fear Before the March of Flames, Kaddisfly, Drop Dead Gorgeous, It Prevails), and was a very positive experience for the band, tells Tony. “Kris was really open-minded to all of our crazy recording ideas. For example, we tuned to A, which is one of the lowest, darkest, angriest tones, for the whole record, and he was really supportive of something as unusual as that. He really helped us achieve our goal: to sound as big and loud and as pissed off as possible without using a ton of fake tones from processors. We want it to really create a booming impact upon the listener and still sound raw and real.”American Me has been making that impact on tour over the past few weeks, just finishing up their first official US run on the Rise Records showcase tour. The band has done a significant amount of touring, and has shared the stage with a wide array of successful acts including Parkway Drive, Warriors, Misery Signals, Acacia Strain, Remembering Never, Emmure, and many more. The Portland, OR based American Me formed as a side project of It Prevails over two years ago, and ended up splitting up to make it a full time thing, something a bit heavier. Known for their sonically induced form of devastating music, they draw their inspiration from all aspects of their lives - everything from social values to personal issues to the regular 9 to 5 person experience.

I set up a small donation so if you at all feel compelled to contribute as much as a $1 to the fund a little can take us a long way. We just wanna keep playing for all of you at the same time still be able to eat and pay for gas and van payment.Ya know how it is. Thanks alot guys for the giving us the drive to continue on!
