Dad sports emerged as a vibrant indie-pop outfit from Ottawa, Canada, capturing the hearts of listeners with their poignant lyrics, relatable themes, and jangly guitar melodies. Formed in late 2018, the trio—comprising vocalist and guitarist Miguel Plante, bassist Alex Keyes, and drummer Keith McDonald—began creating music that seamlessly combines the raw energy of garage rock with the catchy sensibilities of bedroom pop. Their sound reflects a youthful exuberance and a knack for crafting emotionally resonant songs that delve into the complexities of growing up and self-discovery.

After gaining traction with their charming low-fi sound on platforms like Soundcloud, dad sports released their debut EP, "I AM JUST A BOY LEAVE ME ALONE !!!," in March 2021, to wide acclaim. Notable tracks such as "name & place," "out 4 a breather," and "nrvs again" quickly became fan favorites, cementing their status in the indie scene. Their catalog of singles, including "take yr time," "this must be the place," "romeo," "so be it in my dreams," and the tender "dog cuddles," showcases their evolving artistry and confirms their penchant for heartfelt storytelling wrapped in the comforting folds of nostalgia-tinged melodies. As dad sports continues to grow in popularity, they remain poised to define the future of indie music with their unique blend of sincerity and infectious charm.
