The Illinois site became an emo landmark after appearing on the band’s first album cover.
never actually lived in the house that graced the cover of their first self-titled album in 1999. But now, they own the unlikely musical landmark. Polyvinyl, the indie label from Champaign, Illinois, that released, revealed that the label and band purchased the house, alongside the photographer who shot the cover, another photographer, and a Chicago art-gallery group.
When American Football was first active in the late ’90s, the house at 704 W. High Street was a popular spot for punk shows and parties near the University of Illinois; Chris Strong, who took the cover photo, lived in the basement. But the house didn’t become part of the band’s iconography — and that of emo at large — until American Football broke up the year after the album’s release, leaving that photo as a major part of their legacy.
