The Sophs

THE SOPHS

“The Sophs arrived out of the great blue yonder,” says Rough Trade co-founders Geoff Travis and Jeannette Lee of the label’s newest signing, LA six-piece The Sophs. The band’s brutal honesty, flamingly intrusive thoughts, and broad genre-spreading caught their attention immediately.

“It’s rare that a demo that arrives in the post sets your heart racing and sends you off on a quest to track down its sender. But that’s what happened when we listened to the music sent to us by Ethan Ramon (the Sophs' singer),” Travis and Lee explain.

To celebrate the signing and announcement, Rough Trade is released The Sophs’ debut track ‘SWEAT’ on 21 May alongside a Lynchian video which captures the tension of the song, finding beauty in the discomfort of it all - a theme that Ethan Ramon says is “not only the essence of the song, but of the band and its message as a whole.” LISTEN TO ‘SWEAT’ + WATCH THE VIDEO
