hickey Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Dirtnap/Green Noise put up the new Bad Sports LP, Kings Of The Weekend. The first 200 are on blue vinyl. These guys rule. http://www.greennoiserecords.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=58&products_id=22050 NEW. Bad Sports was formed in 2007 in Denton, Texas by Orville Neeley, Daniel Fried and Gregory Rutherford, who came from a variety of different bands in the North Texas area. Their debut self titled full length was released in late 2009 on Douchemaster Records following a string of singles, and showed the band's songwriting mature into a more refined pop territory without losing their edge. The group's energetic live shows (including a show-stopping performance at Dirtnap Records' 2011 SXSW Showcase) have won over audiences across the US, as well as helped gain them notoriety as one of the best live acts in the nation. Prolific to a fault, Bad Sports members currently also play in the High Tension Wires, OBN IIIs, the live incarnation of Mind Spiders, Wiccans, Video, and many more. Kings Of The Weekend, the band's debut for Dirtnap Records, picks up right where the last one left off, showing a penchant for highly developed pop songwriting skills mixed with the speedy garage punk/pop sound of their first LP. A great recording by Mark Ryan of The Mind Spiders/Marked Men fame really compliments the band's sound, making this one of our absolute faves of 2011, as well as the 4th LP in a row Dirtnap has released by Texas bands. We should really just move there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hickey Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Huh. There's also a new Bad Sports 7" on Nashville's Dead http://nashvillesdead.com/products-page/ NOTHIN’ TO DO b/w USE MY BRAIN [NDR-004]Our first non-Nashville release is out on the table and we’re not expecting it to last too long. Bad Sports, from the great state of Texas, feature members of The Wax Museums, Silver Shampoo, OBN IIIs, VIDEO, and just about any other band from that neck of the woods that’s worth a mention. The trio have a new record available from Dirtnap, but you won’t hear either of these two tracks on the album. Both are total rippers like you’d come to expect from them. In the last few years, a lot of bands have come about and have tried to capture what Bad Sports seem to do so effortlessly. But it’s pretty plain to see that there’s something much more special and different with these three. Another single from these same recording sessions is due to see release sometime in the next few months from a brand new Nashville label. Keep your eyes peeled. 300 on black vinyl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifebystereo Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Just grabbed this, can't wait to hear it. Also, I'm surprised they still have the new High Tension Wires LP on red /200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
