With comparisons being made to Basement, Joyce Manor, and Microwave in the past, <em>&#8216;Overthinking Everything&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>indicates the ebb-sand-flows <strong>Footballhead<\/strong> take on the album of the same name.<\/p>\n<p>Having originally started as a solo project for Nolen,\u00a0<strong>Footballhead<\/strong> has transformed into a full band. Rounded out by Adam Siska, snow ellet, Liam Burns, and Robbie Kuntz, the five-piece&#8217;s debut album was originally released digitally last summer. However, having signed with\u00a0<strong>Tiny Engines<\/strong>, the album has been remastered by Jesse Cannon (Basement, The Menzingers, Saves The Day, Somos) and will receive a\u00a0<em>proper<\/em> release next month.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Overthinking Everything&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>sees\u00a0<strong>Footballhead<\/strong> produce 90&#8217;s emo\/alt-rock hooks that wouldn&#8217;t sound out of place on a Jade Tree or Vagrant Records compilation. Wrapped with unrelenting urgency, it consists of 13 tracks crammed into thirty minutes. Throughout its run time, <strong>Footballhead<\/strong> deliver plenty of gorgeous melodies, driving choruses, and occasional spacious and blissful moments (see <em><a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/footballhead-like-a-blister\/\">&#8216;Like A Blister&#8217;<\/a>).\u00a0<\/em>It&#8217;s a whirlwind, addictive album.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Footballhead - Overthinking Everything\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4v5JifSrTks?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
