American University by John Dissed makes you think of some awesome post-punk band that you can’t quite place, a band that delivers creative riffs and singalong choruses with an elusive naturalness. But then you realize you can’t place the band because they never existed. This is the platonic ideal of rock-and-roll music made real by John Dissed and his band. Superb stuff. And the concept revolving around JFK’s death makes for an intriguing listen.
