Singer-songwriter duo Patrick Walsh and Andrew Clarke began writing and performing music under the name Tennis Courts while attending college together in Charleston, SC. With a fluctuating lineup of local musicians, the pair made a name for themselves in the beer-lit basements and bars of Charleston with their raw and rowdy brand of hyper-caffeinated indie rock.

Soon after graduating, Tennis Courts relocated to Brooklyn, NY, where they quickly set roots and found consistent collaborators in guitarist Brian McKenna and producer Matteo DeBenedetti (Charlie & Margot, Flycatcher). In their new home, the band continues to work, play, and hone their craft. Drawing on a wide range of influences from Big Star to Big Thief, Tennis Courts sits comfortably on the fence between power pop glitz and alt-country gloom.

The band’s new EP “Why Would We Fight?” is out March 27th. Recorded in Ramtown, New Jersey with DeBenedetti, the EP captures Tennis Courts at their most vulnerable. Without sparing any of the noise and energy that made them dive-bar favorites, the new songs explore the dread and confusion of navigating life in your 20s. With anthems for the night of and the morning after, Tennis Courts has created a soundtrack for weekend benders everywhere.
