Weekend - Sports

2010 release from the Alt/Noise rockers. Combining noisy guitars, pounding rhythms and dark Post-Punk vibes in fresh ways isn't easy, but Weekend somehow does it effortlessly. Sports is one of the most assured debuts in recent memory, full of rumbling rhythms, layers of loud guitar and most of all great songs that pay special attention to texture and atmosphere while leavening even the most riotous moments with unexpected shards of melody.
