History edit
Remember Sports formed in 2012 when all members were attending Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio.[1][2] They released their first album in 2014 on Bandcamp titled Sunchokes.[3][4] In 2015, Sports signed to Father/Daughter Records, where they released their second album titled All of Something.[3][5][6] The album was produced by Kyle Gilbride (Waxahatchee, Upset, Field Mouse).[7] All of Something was recorded primarily while most of the members were still in college.[8] The album received four stars out of five by Rolling Stone magazine.[9] The album was listed at number ten on PopMatters list titled "The Best Indie Pop of 2015".[10]
In August 2016, Remember Sports released a demo of their song "Makin It Right", which was featured on the Clearmountain Compilation Vol. 1.[11]
In November 2017, the band announced their name change from Sports to Remember Sports to avoid confusion with other bands, including the Oklahoma-based band, Sports.[2][12] In 2018, the band released their third album titled Slow Buzz.[13] In 2020, the group contributed a cover of the song "Just the Girl" by the Click Five for Saving for a Custom Van, a tribute compilation celebrating the life of musician Adam Schlesinger.[14] In 2021, the band announced their fourth LP, Like a Stone, released on April 23, 2021.[15]
