Footballhead – “Habits”

Footballhead – “Habits”

Chicago-based Footballhead is headed up by Ryan Nolen, with a supporting cast that includes snow ellet, who trades off recording duties with Nolen. If you’re a fan of ellet’s proudly poppy emo-leaning alt-rock, you’ll probably find a lot to enjoy about Nolen’s work, which claims allegiance to “the poppier side of 90s radio rock,” citing the influence of Jimmy Eat World, Third Eye Blind, and blink-182 in particular.

Back in June, Footballhead released their debut album Overthinking Everything, but as often happens, the record has been pulled down from the internet ahead of a wider release. It’ll now drop in March via the newly revived Tiny Engines. Lead single “Habits” remains on Bandcamp, as do album tracks “Snowball,” “Like A Blister,” and “Ugly Day.” Check ’em all out below.
