History



Formation


American Me was formed in Portland, Oregon in 2006 by high school friends, Tony Tataje and Brian Blade after gaining inspiration from the 1992 film of the same name. Originally, the band was a side-project of melodic hardcore band, It Prevails,[5] although it soon became a full-time band in its own right, distinguished by a far heavier sound.



Burglary and hiatus (2009–2010)


In November 2009 while touring after the release of their second studio album, Siberian Nightmare Machine, the band's tour trailer was burglarized in Antelope, California causing the loss of their equipment and merchandise which prompted the band's year-long hiatus from the music scene.



Reformation and third studio album (2012-2016)


After recovering from their robbery and parting ways with hired touring members, the core members re-formed with new drummer, Duncan Allen and released their third studio album, III on August 14, 2012.
Later that fall, the band embarked on a month-long tour of Europe.[6] In August 2013 the band was added to the "No Way Out Tour" in support of label mates, The Acacia Strain.[7]



Reunion and new EP album (2017-present)


One year after their breakup and other projects, the band reformed for their 10-year anniversary tour on August 23–27 with bands Givemblood and CRITIC.[8] The band also announced a new EP album called "Still Firing". The album is expecting to drop on November 17, 2017 via Rise Records. Their new music video, "Anti Life Equation" which features AJ Channer of Fire From the Gods was released on November 15, 2017.

(November 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) The Westermarck effect , or reverse sexual imprinting, is a hypothetical psychological effect through which people who live in close domestic proximity during the first few years of their lives become desensitized to sexual attraction. This phenomenon was first hypothesized by Finnish anthropologist Edvard Westermarck in his book The History of Human Marriage (1891) as one explanation for the incest taboo. Observations interpreted as evidence for the Westermarck effect have since been made in many places and cultures, including in the Israeli kibbutz system, and the Chinese Shim-pua marriage customs, as well as in biologically-related families. In the case of the Israeli kibbutzim (collective farms), children...
