about

SPORTS is a 4-5 piece basement rock band, started in 2012 at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. The band's original line-up consisted of Carmen Perry on vocals and guitar, Benji Dossetter on drums, James Karlin on bass, and Catherine Dwyer on guitar. Early in the band's formation, the group demoed some songs at their college radio station, WKCO. This recording would later birth their first album, Sunchokes, in the spring of 2014. After Catherine graduated and the others remained at Kenyon, Jack Washburn entered the band in summer of 2014 in her place on guitar and vocals. SPORTS has explored beyond the Buckeye state, playing with contemporaries including Radiator Hospital, Priests, Porches., and Pinegrove.

The band’s second album titled All of Something was recorded in Philadelphia with celebrated DIY producer and musician Kyle Gilbride (Waxahatchee, Girlpool, Swearin’). Catherine rejoined the band for the sessions, and the now quintet found a fuller sound with all hands on deck. All of Something unfurls like a flag outside a midwestern bedroom window, lifted with the air of uncertainty of those first, confusing steps of adulthood. Perry’s freckled voice, equal parts longing and hopeful, carries through with damning drums and tickling guitar solos. Each song jangles on, sometimes releasing declarative, fighting words and other times as careful as notes left on the fridge.

Track Name: Stunted
So this is where everything leads
Looking around at old pictures of me
The ashes are stuck to your shoes
Things that appear like first signs of a bruise
I really hope we don’t lose

So this is where everything leads
You can pretend that you’re nothing to me
When everyone’s making me choose
Write you another sorry excuse
I really hope we don’t lose

Am I who you always wanted?
Are you the reason I’m stunted?
You got what you wanted
We both got what we wanted
Track Name: Saturday
I think it’s too bad that your friends aren’t calling you anymore
You come over when I’m not home on Saturday
Maybe I’m just scared of making plans we may never keep
But I can’t find a reason not to stay

Saturday!!!
When I thought of nothing else
I could take care of myself

Maybe next summer I’ll stop having babysitting stress dreams
And you’ll come over when you say you will
Tell me don’t be angry to stop being so sentimental
I just hope we stop drifting apart

Saturday!!!
I heard myself complain
When I didn't have a thing to say
And I didn't want a thing to change
Everything I hid was spilling out today
Track Name: Getting On in Spite of You
Getting on in spite of you
When the summer isn’t all it’s cracked up to be
Maybe I just try too hard to make it easy,

Make you think it’s not your fault
But it’s always mine, I’m out of time, I am running out of time with you

Cuz if I had loved you for a thousand days or more,
Or if I hadn’t laid here with this doubt creeping up my spine,
Maybe we could help this

Somewhere in the back of my mind, to keep from falling all the time,
I keep one last image of you
And apologies won’t make you smart
But I guess it’s different, cuz you’re the one who always changed
But it’s never me, why can’t you see that this time things may not be okay

Cuz if I had loved you for a thousand days or more,
Or if I hadn’t laid here with this doubt creeping up my spine,
Maybe we could help this

Cuz if I had loved you the way you loved me before,
Or if you hadn’t left me with this doubt creeping up my spine,
Maybe we could help this
Track Name: Reality TV
I could make you feel alright while we’re driving through the night
I didn’t think that you’d be lonely too
And I could tell you what to say but other things get in the way
You never listened cuz you already knew

I could give you what you wanted
It wouldn’t matter much to me

I’ve heard you say you’re broken hearted
Is there anything else to be?

Take my mind off the empty space in this heart of mine and I’ll
Take your mind off the empty space in your bed tonight

And I know that I’m no fun when I get scared of everyone
I like to talk to you it’s all I want
And in a couple years you’ll see me on reality tv
I’ll be the one who’s always looking at you

I couldn’t give you what you wanted
And I don’t really feel that bad
If you don’t finish what you started
You’ll forget everything you had

Take my mind off the empty space in this heart of mine and I’ll
Take your mind off the empty space in your bed tonight
Track Name: Town
From the stillness of my bedroom
To the empty streets outside today
Is it interesting for you
To have to listen, to have to hear me say
“Life can be so weird and I just make it hard.”

Can you tell me what I’m reading?
Talk to me like I am stupid
Wearing through my socks again
Pick up a new pair and that'll be my Tuesday
Life can be so weird when you're not around in my town
And it's shutting down
At night the lights are on but the people aren’t around.
Track Name: Harder
Too many glasses broken under the table
I want a bed that’s warm and two homes that are stable
What ever happened to the things on the tree
That you dated so meticulously?

And I’m driving home now
Cuz it’s not you anymore
Your street is bumpy
And the water is cold

You’re making this harder on me

And I wanted to ask you to sit with me
For a little while cuz I couldn’t sleep
Weighed down my options with a decade of doubt
It was easier not to so I kept my mouth shut

And I’m breathing deeply
Just like you taught me to do
And you said that sometimes
People just say things

Am I making this harder on you?
Track Name: Get Bummed Out
Waking up just to say your goodbyes
Fein composure but I know you lied
I know you try so hard, so so hard

Now I’m biting my nails and you’re biting your tongue
I’m cracking my bones cuz of what I’ve done
Do I make you nervous, as nervous as you make me?
If I breathe too close to you
Can I count on you to just make up your mind?

Steady heartbeat for once in my life
I’m moving my feet so I can try
To get over you before you’re even mine

Hoping you’ll call so that I can ignore
You were confusing but I can take care of myself
I just wish sometimes that I didn’t always have to
If I move away from you
Would you miss me the way that I miss you?
So get more blue and I won’t talk to you
Cuz it’ll hurt too badly when you let me down

And I’ve been tired
I’ve been waking up alone
And I drive around this stupid town
Building you up in my mind
And I get bummed out

Cuz I fell asleep on all your bad dreams
I’m in love with how you make me feel like I’m not so alone
But I can go if you feel like giving up
Just make a mess of me, I’ll always clean it up
Track Name: GDP
Summer’s indiscretions already weighing down on us
You drive and I don’t speak, the radio keeps us from silence
And fatigue from humid air and heat stops you from making a mess of things
You know I’m no good at talking, lately everything feels wrong

You look so happy
And you probably think she’s the prettiest when she’s first waking up in the morning
And I am not funny
But I’ll pretend like I don’t care and you will laugh at me
It’s unfortunate

But that’s how it always goes an I guess everybody knows it but me

I could keep a running list of all the things you never cared about
But I guess that goes the same for me, I never could remember your birthday
And I’m fucking tired of subtly, I won’t wait for you to say it first
Roll down the windows of your car and let discretion blow right out of it

You look so happy
And you probably think she’s the prettiest when she’s first waking up in the morning
And I am not funny
But I’ll pretend like I don’t care and you will laugh at me
It’s unfortunate
But that’s how it always goes and I guess everybody knows it but me
Track Name: Clean Socks
What did you think I was looking for?
A pile of clean socks on the bedroom floor
I let all the dust pile up until you’re dead
Swirling around the thoughts in your head

You shove things in drawers just to clear off the floors
Is this working?
Now you’re coming home but you won’t tell me so
And I deserve it

And now that I’m clear on all the things you’ve said
I fall asleep as soon as I get in bed
And you can have all the space you’ll ever need
You never wanted anything from me
Track Name: The Washing Machine
I’ve been doing my laundry every other weekend
Put my sheets in the wash and hope your blood comes out
Once I fold all the blankets in, I don’t wanna let you in again
And that new sweater you bought is gonna start to pill soon
You’ve been running in circles tryna make it stop
Maybe you’ll save it if you never ever wear it

I’m gonna scream from the washing machine
Cuz I shrunk all my dresses again
A seventh grade dream where my clothes were real clean
But my mom turned everything pink

Sometimes at night it looks like you’ve stopped breathing
Or maybe it’s just that I am crushing you
We’re driving each other crazy but I know that you’ve been changing
So I’m gonna sleep until my bed is unmade
Cuz everything feels a little bit less safe
But I think that it’s okay to feel all of something

And you aren’t dead, it’s just all in your head
Because too many things have gone wrong
I’ll come around cuz it’s a terrible sound
When we’re both letting each other down

You’re the reason why
I can never hide
You left my keys inside
Will you stay with me?
I’m having trouble breathing
This is not my life
