American Bang
American Bang is an American rock band from Nashville, Tennessee.
The group was founded by two former members of Llama and one of The Kicks, along with a fourth member, in 2005.[1] They initially formed under the name Bang Bang Bang and self-released an album under this name in 2005, but after signing to Warner Bros. Records in 2006, they changed their name to American Bang after finding out another band of the same name already existed.[1] Their first EP under the new name arrived in 2007, and a new full-length was issued in 2010. The album included the hit single "Wild and Young", which reached number 24 on the Billboard Modern Rock charts and number 26 on the Rock Songs chart.[2]
