REMEMBER SPORTS – Philly’s Lauded Indies Have Their 5th Full-Length ‘THE REFRIGERATOR’ Out

14 February 2025

Band: REMBER SPORTS
Who: Ohio-rooted and Philadelphia-based indie
quartet, formed in 2014 named Sports for a while.

Album: THE REFRIGERATOR
Their 5th one.

Press info: “The new album captures the messy, cathartic energy of transformation. Written in the aftermath of the pandemic, the record is shaped by grief, uncertainty,
and a deep love for music and friendship. Songs wrestle with identity, memory, and growing up, balancing bratty catharsis with tenderness and reflection.”

TUTV: Indie-pendent guitar pop is back. Actually, it never was gone whatsoever,
but the electric-powered 6-string scene is prominently present lately, way more than before. Remember Sports, Dream Nails, Ratboys, The Belair Lip Bombs, Fanclubwallet, Sprints, Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Wet Leg, Vuce Vera, Lime Gardeb, and way more other bands crank up their guitars to vitalize their cacthy pop tunes.

No artificial ballyhoo, no ersatz hurry-skurry, no phony posing. They all keep it
simple, direct, fresh and whipped-up. They do not pretend to be the next big thing.
They act inspired by their gut-feeling and insatiable knack for spine-tingling, kicky
music. The Refrigerator features all those plugged-in characteristics. Remember
Sports are in excellent condition to compete in this sonic discipline.

Btw, while writing this, it dawned on me that all the aforementioned bands are
female-fronted ones. Coincidence? No idea, but it shows that rockin’ girl power
is back. Supercool!

The album’s 3 singles.

REMEMBER SPORTS – Philly’s Lauded Indies Drop Their 5th Full-Length ‘THE REFRIGERATOR’ In February

26 December 2025

Band: REMBER SPORTS
Who: Ohio-rooted and Philadelphia-based indie
quartet, formed in 2014 named Sports for a while.

Album: THE REFRIGERATOR
Their 5th one

Release: 13 February 2026

Press info: Remember Sports have always sounded like a band in motion, chasing a feeling, chasing each other, sometimes running from themselves. Over the past decade, they’ve built a devoted following through bruising live shows, emotionally honest songs, and a sound that keeps evolving.

The new album captures the messy, cathartic energy of transformation. Written in the aftermath of the pandemic, the record is shaped by grief, uncertainty, and a deep love for music and friendship. Songs wrestle with identity, memory, and growing up, balancing bratty catharsis with tenderness and reflection.”

Artist: JANE INC.
Who: Toronto-based
songstress.

Track: WHAT IF
Piece from her upcoming 3rd full-length, called
A Rupture A Canyon A Birth, out October 17th.

The song is inspired by the moment that a semi truck plowed into their broken-down tour van. Nobody in the Jane Inc. touring party was hurt in that accident, and they even played their scheduled show later that night. But everyone could’ve easily been killed, and that kind of near-death experience will do something to you. That’s the key to what if.

TUTV: Bumping EBM thrumming, shimmering synths, trippy piano touches,
and vocal outpouring. Donna Summer would like this stomper. Dress up
and hurry to the discotheque.
