SPORTSDAY MEGAPHONE (aka Hugh Frost) began life as an art project. At University in Brighton Hugh created a series of album artworks for imaginary bands, ‘Sportsday’ would prove to be the moniker that stuck. Married to a blend of scrappy bedroom studio pop, Sonic Youth guitar and a liking for a deep electro house groove, Hugh’s CV now ranges from remixes of Malcolm Middleton, Envelopes and Operator Please, to video direction for Friendly Fires and The Maccabees, and even a stint as a graphic designer for American Apparel in Los Angeles.
Debut album SO MANY COLOURS / SO LITTLE TIME is a spirited debut, bursting forth in 3-minute volleys of electro-pop and synth-punk, as Sportsday Megaphone takes on young romance, Scientology, the light spectrum, and all manner of youthful self esteem issues.
