Sports.
sports. is a three-piece "Midwest-emo" band. Formed in Boston, MA, in 2013, sports. is now based in Green Bay, WI, New Haven, CT, and New York, NY. The band is known for their energetic punk performances, twinkly emo guitar riffs, and catchy pop hooks. Their first full-length record, "Demon Daze," was released in 2015, and went on to develop a cult-like following after the band's hiatus in 2019. Demon Daze continued growing, earning its position as a quintessential midwest-emo record, and getting dubbed a 'gateway' into the genre. The record has been praised for its contributions to hybrid math-rock and emo alike, often receiving positive reviews since its inception, and becoming a time capsule of its era. 10 years later, sports. is reforming to celebrate 10 years of Demon Daze, and to perform their 1st full band tour in over 6 years. Ahead of their reunion, sports. released a remastered version of Demon Daze, which includes 10 new bonus tracks of demos, remixes, and acoustic versions of songs from the original album. The band is excited to perform again, to meet their many new fans, and to continue building off their newfound momentum. To quote the band on their return: "It's so sick to be back," and "I want to take over the world now, it's time to write some rippers."
