From Press Release –
Buffalo’s Super American have released their new full-length album, Gangster Of Love, out now. The band’s new songs blur the lines between absurdism and existentialism, swirling ‘90s melodicism with high energy riffs and heartfelt emo elements into a wry, smirking rock sound.
‘Gangster Of Love’ can now be streamed HERE.
Gangster of Love follows 2021’s SUP and 2018’s Tequila Sunrise. After the duo fled Buffalo and landed in LA, the new music came alive thanks to their new surroundings. It was magic.
Since forming in Western New York in 2016, Patrick Feeley and his musical partner Matt Cox have blurred the line between absurdism and existentialism, swirling ‘90s melodicism, new-millennium pop-punk energy, and heartfelt emo into a wry, smirking rock sound.
“SUP was basically a record filled with anxiety as a survival mechanism,” Feeley explains. “This time around, it was less of a victim mindset. Thematically, I feel like it’s more about yearnings and desires and what you want for yourself.”
“We wanted this album to feel like you were stepping into this little world, and working with Sam helped us accomplish that,” says Cox.
Gangster of Love Track List

“We’ve always approached the band from a very innocent, youthful place despite not actually forming as kids,” Cox says. “I think that’s been a little bit of how we’ve lasted so long, by not really being beholden to hindsight. It keeps us moving forward and able to find new listeners.”
Adds Feeley: “Whatever audience gets it and enjoys it, god fucking bless their souls because they must be sick.”
