Background
Sports was written while the band members were attending college.[4]
Sports was recorded in the Free Studios at Drexel University, where founding band members Jake Ewald and Brendan Lukens attended. The album was engineered by Ian Farmer [5]before he joined the band himself. Looking back on recording, Ewald said "it was mostly our singer Brendan doing most of the legwork 'cos we didn't have a real band yet".[6]
Release
Sports was later released by Lame-O Records in December 2012.[7] On June 22, 2013, a music video was released for "The Weekend". In June and July, the group went on a short US tour with Mixtapes, You Blew It! and Light Years.[8] Later in July, the group appeared at I Got Brains Fest.[9] In November, the group appeared at The Fest.[10]
