The Sophs are a six-piece from LA made up of Ethan Ramon (vocals), Sam Yuh (keyboards), Austin Parker Jones (electric guitar), Seth Smades (acoustic guitar), Devin Russ (drums), and Cole Bobbitt (bass).

They recently signed to Rough Trade Records, having been personally courted by Geoff Travis himself.

Let’s see what they have been up to:

Sweat

The lo-fi indie of Grandaddy and Electric Soft Parade’s debut ‘Holes in the Wall’ trips along, joyously aimlessly, until the explosive rage-fuelled climax.

Their most urgent song. The guitars flitter from the innocence of The Libertines to the wayward souls of Pavement, but it is frontman Ramon’s vocals that steal the show. Bedding in between Hull’s Matt Edible and Seafood’s David Line. His raw but poetic delivery strikes a powerful coming of age tone with which to legions of fans will soon go into battle for!
