## Description

Vinyl LP pressing. 2010 release from the Alt/Noise rockers. Combining noisy guitars, pounding rhythms and dark Post-Punk vibes in fresh ways isn't easy, but Weekend somehow does it effortlessly. Sports is one of the most assured debuts in recent memory, full of rumbling rhythms, layers of loud guitar and most of all great songs that pay special attention to texture and atmosphere while leavening even the most riotous moments with unexpected shards of melody.

    Pity The Equaliser
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 3 December 2010*

There's breathtaking simplicity to the noise genre (or so some would have you believe). Either way, its name is descriptive, accurate and succinct. More often that not these days it's complementary too. Weekend, as a band name, is more anonymous, but their debut Sports is anything but. This is indie rock where indie still means independent, the stress is on rock - that rock is loud - and the whole lot is fuzzed out to hell.Galloping on relatively simple guitar and drumming, "Coma Summer" comes buzzed out to 11 (think My Bloody Valentine's own jet engine), and with Shaun Durkan's best exercise in disinterest echoing out atop the squall. Yet, though it might take an attuned ear to get it, it's the closely-guarded melody in the band's maelstrom that pleases most.Though "Youth Haunts" then appears to struggle in terms of originality - its post-punk bass work certainly suggests at Joy Division - it has dissonance levels enough to make A Place To Bury Strangers blush. This comparison is later compounded on the pummelling "Age Class", and, along with regular overloading of equipment, these concessions allow for Sports to keep fresh.As such, these San Franciscans continue to impress throughout. "End Times" bubbles once more with post-punk bass and a low-in-the-mix, back-and-forth vocal that more than brings Sonic Youth to mind. The change of pace in "Veil", which also peels back a few levels of static, as well as in the crushingly epic-sounding "Monday Morning" provides welcome, reverbed variety, and some might say respite. The latter's vocal melody is then reprised and comes to a head during the anthemic blow-out in "Monongah, WV".Just as Dinosaur Jr showed, just as Japandroids more recently did too, noisy enthusiasm is infectious. And, with a vision borrowed from Sonic Youth's 
  
Goo







  
  
    , Sports culminates with "Untitled". It runs with heavily sludged guitars, borrows No Age's wind tunnel for recording purposes and daubs on enough feedback to induce pity for the equaliser.What they lack in band, album and track name, Weekend more than make up for in raw sonics. Indispensable.Advised downloads: "Monongah, WV" and "Untitled".

    Something loud for the weekend sir?
  

*by P***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 17 July 2012*

It seems i'm going to be the odd one out here (reviewer wise)....I usually really like noisy music but there also has to be some thread of a tune/structure to make it listenable and, for me, although there are some good ideas lurking beneath the cacophony they're just obliterated by the intense feedback that's employed on all the tracks."Coma summer" opens well with a riff that could have come from George Best era The Wedding Present but just when they should be fleshing it out with some semblance of a hook they play their JAMC feedback/distortion card, which if used selectively could have been great, but it just overpowers everything in sight (sound).The vocals are echoey and disembodied throughout and even when you can hear them they're fairly poor.It's a shame really as "End times" has a great New Order riff and "Age class" & "Veil" have some good riffs too but why they felt the need to bury all their hard work under the sonic mayhem seems peculiar. It's like painting a masterpiece and then drawing over 75% of it with felt tip pen, but maybe that obtuse action was their intent and i'm missing the point?
