Remember Sports, Alexalone

“I think a lot of what I write about usually is like, things that have to change, or that should change. And usually I know it, but I just am slow to do it cause it’s scary,” said Carmen Perry from Remember Sports to Atwood Magazine. Though change is scary for the songwriter and vocalist of the power-pop posse hailing from Philadelphia, they continue to find catharsis in writing about the unpredictable on their recent EP of ebullient indie tunes, Leap Day. Contrast this with the immersive slowgaze of Austin rock group alexalone, and the night will be filled with conflicting energies brought together by the same warm, fuzzy feeling.
