  Joan of Arc (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joan of Arc are an experimental indie rock band from Chicago, Illinois.
Joan of Arc are known for their use of electronics, samples, and multi-track recording in their songs; some songs on The Gap contained over 100 tracks.
Despite being heralded as a pioneer of a diverse genre known as 'Emo' (a term rejected by Kinsella), Joan of Arc's next album was a reaction to this unwelcome classification.

 Joan of Arc

 American Football (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The band was formed by Guitarist/bassist and singer Mike Kinsella (formerly of Cap'n Jazz and Joan of Arc and currently of Owen) and drummer Steve Lamos (formerly of The One Up Downstairs and currently of The Geese and DMS), and also included guitar player Steve Holmes (also of The Geese).
However, the band splintered before the record could be pressed, so the songs were shelved.
The band had few live performances and disbanded less than a year after releasing their self-titled album; still, they gained critical acclaim for that album, which merged the plain-spoken, confessional lyrics of emo and the varying time signatures of math rock with a softer musical sensibility.

Joan is in history what Jesus is in sacred history; and none the less divine because she knew herself to be a mere mortal woman; more utterly abandoned, since neither Magdalene nor Mary wept beneath her cross, since, even more than He, she died surrounded by hate and insult beyond measure.

The work wrought by Joan of Arc may fairly be regarded as ranking with any in history, when one considers the conditions under which it was undertaken, the obstacles in the way, and the means at her disposal.
It is noticeable that this remark, which implies that Joan was entirely forgetful of her self and her own danger, and had thought and wrought for the preservation of other people alone, was not challenged, or criticised, or commented upon by anybody there, but was taken by all as matter of course and true.
He merely hurt Joan’s feelings and offended her piety without need, for he had already confessed her before this, and should have known, if he knew anything, that devils cannot abide the confessional, but utter cries of anguish and the most profane and furious cursings whenever they are confronted with that holy office.
