Lawn – “Sports Gun” [Video]

LAWN DROP “SPORTS GUN” VIDEO + ANNOUNCE FALL TOUR

Lawn just shared the wild new video for their latest single, “Sports Gun,” and it rips as hard visually as it does sonically. Directed by Zack Shorrosh, the clip plays like a cross between late-night VHS treasure and an art school fever dream—raw performance shots cut with abstract textures and distorted color washes. It’s a striking visual for one of their most electric tracks yet.

“Sports Gun” is the band’s first release since joining Exploding In Sound Records, and it captures the best of what Lawn does: searing guitar noise, a bassline that punches through the floor, and a perfectly unhinged energy that never lets up. Recorded with Greg Obis (of Stuck) in Chicago and mixed by Dave Vettraino (Melkbelly, Deeper), the track feels locked-in and chaotic in all the right ways.

For over a decade now, Lawn has been a cornerstone of New Orleans’ underground scene, with co-leads Mac Folger and Rui De Magalhaes trading off songwriting duties like they were built in different labs. Folger brings the hooks, De Magalhaes brings the fire, and together they’ve dropped three killer albums that blur the line between power-pop sunshine and full-throttle post-punk.

The band’s hitting the road this fall for a string of headline shows and a run supporting Momma. Catch them in the wild here:
