A couple of months ago, I spotted Sportfuck acting as musical backdrop for the movie 'Freedom Downtime', a project by hacker guru Emmanuel Goldstein. Their energetic blend of different alternative pop-rock styles caught my attention. The same goes for their first release after the successful single 'These Islands'. This EP contains eight relatively short tracks that show the quality of the four New York-based musicians who are unmistakably influenced by late 80s alternative rock. 'Islands' and 'The Words Live Longer', for instance, recall My Bloody Valentine blended with Loop, while opener 'Tremble' sounds like good old Dinosaur Jr. in their better days. But also The Pixies and Sonic Youth come to mind while listening to Sportfuck's eclectic pop with fuzzy guitars, soft, sometimes sweet vocals, and addictive bass lines. Best track, however, is the epic wave song 'One Catastrophe to Another', where distorted guitars and feedback match perfectly with slow synths and whispered vocals. Although their influences are easily traceable, Sportfuck sound fresh and are able to create their own retro pop style. Let's hope their first full-length will be released soon.
