Sports: “Never Know”

By: Jack Anderson

You might not think of Oklahoma as a hub for indie pop, but synth-enthusiasts Sports has definitely put OK on the genre map. Sports stepped up to the plate in 2015 with their debut record Naked All The Time and knocked it out of the park with their funk-stuffed sound on the 2018 LP  Everyone’s Invited but have, for the most part, been conspicuously absent since.

So keep an ear open for Get A Good Look Pt. 1 in February, and launch yourself into a carefree mode for the weekend with Sports’ just-released single and music video, “Never Know”!

Even though it’ll always be a nightly main attraction, the moon’s also been a hot topic thanks to recent international missions, both successes or failures. But of course, for every state-funded effort, there’s a private space venture in the hands of a billionaire. Which begs a question. Once corporations capitalize the moon, how much of […]
