History

Remember Sports formed in 2012 when all members were attending Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio.[1][2] They released their first full-length album in 2014 on Bandcamp titled Sunchokes.[3][4] In 2015, Sports signed to Father/Daughter Records, where they released their second full-length 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 named Sports, including the Oklahoma-based band Sports.[12][2] In 2020, the group contributed a cover of the song "Just the Girl" by the Click Five for a tribute compilation celebrating the life of musician Adam Schlesinger.[13]
