American Dreams

<p>12 Rods (also known as 12RODS and Twelve Rods) was an indie rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Formed in Oxford, Ohio in 1992, the group later relocated to Minneapolis in 1995 where they were based until their disbandment in 2004. They reunited for one show in 2015 and "reformed" in 2021 with Ryan Olcott announcing a new album was in the works. A new live band was formed and a new record, "If We Stayed Alive," was formally announced for release on American Dreams and Husky Pants Records.</p>

<p>American Dreams is an experimental label, small press, and online store founded in 2019 by artist and ONO member jordan reyes. The label is committed to the values of patience, intention, and perseverance. Their editions are meticulously crafted to provide multi-sensory experiences that engage not only the ears but also the body and eyes. In September 2020, American Dreams expanded with the launch of their heavy sub-imprint American Decline Records.</p>

If We Stayed Alive is the first LP from legendary Minneapolis band 12 Rods - and presents their first new music in twenty-two years. It's an excellent introduction to one of the most acclaimed, talked-about bands of the turn of the century, and what some have called one of the best indie bands of the '90s. Pitchfork raved about Gay? and Split Personalities, and a collaboration with Todd Rundgren, 2000's Separation Anxieties, followed. Bandleader Ryan Olcott wrote, recorded and played everything you hear on If We Stayed Alive. "To be honest," he says, "I think it's the best material I've had to offer so far." Its sound, themes, mood are evergreen. It's 12 Rods. It's new. It's everything we've waited for. LP with download card.
