Bloodsports share new single ‘Calvin’ ahead of debut album release
New York City rock group Bloodsports have released their latest single ‘Calvin,’ the second preview from their upcoming debut album Anything Can Be A Hammer, arriving October 17, 2025 via Good English Records.
‘Calvin’ stands out as one of the band’s most direct rock-driven tracks to date, channeling urgent riffs and dreamlike vignettes into a blistering three-minute rush. The song captures Bloodsports’ raw energy while weaving in surrealist lyricism, offering fans a new glimpse into the sonic landscapes that will define their debut full-length.
Bandleader Sam Murphy explains:
“It’s definitely the most standard “rock” song on the record, it kinda feels like a Pixies song to us. This one was written in like an hour with a couple of simple riffs I had in my head for awhile and really hasn’t changed since. Lyrically, it takes place during a dream I had so a lot of the lines are kind of disjointed from one another and ambiguous, which I think reflects a dream state pretty well.”
‘Calvin’ is out now. Bloodsports’ debut album Anything Can Be A Hammer promises nine tracks that balance heavy guitar work with orchestral flourishes and sharp lyricism, a culmination of their rapid rise in New York’s underground. The record will be available digitally as well as on cassette and vinyl via Good English Records.
