Debut Album GOLDSTAR Out March 13 on Rough Trade Records
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Los Angeles six-piece The Sophs are sharing a new song and video ‘SWEETIEPIE’ from their forthcoming debut album GOLDSTAR, out March 13th on Rough Trade Records. The group have ridden a wave of notoriety ever since signing to Rough Trade Records on the strength of their demos – which they cold-emailed to labelheads Geoff Travis and Jeannette Lee before they ever even played a show. Following singles “GOLDSTAR”, ‘I’M YOUR FIEND’, ‘SWEAT’, and ‘DEATH IN THE FAMILY’ and worldwide touring, the band are poised to win over audiences worldwide, one show at a time.
Frontman Ethan Ramon says “SWEETIEPIE is someone standing outside their ex’s window at 3 a.m., waving their arms over their head and screaming for some sort of second chance. In our narrator’s head, they’re John Cusack in Say Anything, but in reality, they’re just another creep who had too much to drink.”
