The Sophs - Goldstar

Released 13th March 2026

Los Angeles six-piece The Sophs have ridden a wave of notoriety ever since signing to Rough Trade Records on the strength of their demos - which they cold-emailed to labelheads Geoff Travis and Jeannette Lee before they ever even played a show. Following last years releases of stand-alone singles IM YOUR FIEND, SWEAT, and DEATH IN THE FAMILY and worldwide touring, the band are ready to unleash their debut album GOLDSTAR, out March 13, 2026.

The bands brutal honesty, flamingly intrusive thoughts, and broad genre-spreading caught the attention of Rough Trade founders Geoff Travis and Jeannette Lee immediately. When Ramon sent a demo reel out to his favorite indies, he wasnt expecting any replies. But Travis and Lee were in his inbox the next day, asking if hed hop on a call.

Rough Trade heard the sort of creativity and variety and dont expect me to act pretty sentiment that could get The Sophs including Ramo
