Back in 2016, a young Bandcamp-native singer-songwriter named Sophie Allison released For Young Hearts, her official debut EP as Soccer Mommy. Our former colleague James Rettig was all over that shit. You may think of yourself as a Soccer Mommy OG, but James was the earliest of adopters — so early, in fact, that his post about For Young Hearts alludes to previous collections songs for the recently sad, which has since disappeared from Bandcamp, and the two–part songs from my bedroom. Given the existence of those releases, one could make the case that For Young Hearts was not really Soccer Mommy’s debut, but it was the breakout release that landed her on our 2016 Best New Bands list, a remarkable time capsule that also includes heavy hitters like Japanese Breakfast, Mannequin Pussy, Moses Sumney, Noname, Pinegrove, and Show Me The Body.
