Poorsport · Tune In
poorsport. is a Sacramento, California DIY emo three-piece working in the twinkly, mathy strain of Midwest emo. The band — Christian Rios, Grant Gelbke, and Malkylm Wright — emerged from Sacramento's house-show and DIY circuit, with ties to local hub DNL Studios. Their sound pairs jangly, intricate guitar work with dynamic builds that open into ecstatic group sing- and shout-alongs. They released "Tony Hawk's Pro Split" in January 2022, followed by the eight-song "songs we wrote for our friends to sing" in July 2024, recorded and mastered at DNL Studios.
Our take:Emo, Midwest Emo, Indie Punk, Math Rock, Twinkle
