Contact Sports by Always Tired

Always Tired is an emocore band out of Fayetteville, Arkansas. Their debut album Contact Sports comes out on June 30th, 2023 on both cassette and digital retailers everywhere.

With an appreciation for early emo bands from the 80's, post-hardcore and punk, Always Tired provides a passionately raw performance. After releasing a single, an EP and playing a lot of local shows, Always Tired got together to record an album. Contact Sports features the studio recordings of six tracks and on the b-side of the album, those same six tracks, in sequence, live.

The question would be why release it in that format? Singer and guitarist Michael Sweater notes that "We wanted to leave a record of what we actually sounded in the room when preparing the material." Flanked by lead guitarist Park Bradford, bass player Kyle Kamninski, and drummer Jrd, the band is hungry to get their music out there. They're already working on new songs for a follow up.

Always Tired will be playing a lot of local shows around the release and are open to touring opportunities. Follow them on Bandcamp and Instagram.

25% of the profits will be going to Intransitive:

“Intransitive works to advance the cause of Trans liberation in Arkansas through art, education, advocacy, organizing and culture in order to create effective systemic change and on-the-ground impact."
