Remember Sports? I'll say I do. And not fondly frankly. Trailing round on Cross Country afternoon runs at the back of the pack with the rest of my geeky mates across muddy fields and fields in PE lessons in wintry months of unremitting rain in the early Eighties. Coughing my guts up. Lungs clogged with phlegm from the asthma condition which plagued my childhood and teenage years.
Always among the last to be picked at football. Unable to master the javelin. Doing my best to grit my teeth for the trials of rugby tacklse and avoiding the indignities of a boot in the face from the fat boy in the pack of the school team. . At least I was OK at tennis where it was pretty much all about the serve which you hoped would land in the right box as you advanced to the net to volley the return into the open court, 30 love. But generally mine is not a glorious sporting narrative..
Anyway eniugh about me becasue here are Remember Sports are from Gambier Ohio,.and have relocated to Philly and released albums at intervals from 2021 and are on their way to Europe presently to support their latest The Refrigerator.
It's the brew which seems in vogue among young Alternative American Guitar bands currently. The Refrigerator frankly is heady stuff. Diaristic and intimate vocals. What sounds like a hurdy gurdy churning in the background, Well written songs that aren't afraid of discussing heartbreak. Guitars chiming and C&W inclined but also harking back to Replacements and early R.E.M. Darren Jones. You may like this one. I certainly do.
