American indie-pop singer-songwriter.
Nashville-based singer-songwriter Sophie Allison plays her self-penned indie-pop.
Sophie Allison, better known for her stage name Soccer Mommy, is an American singer-songwriter and musician hailing from Nashville, Tennessee. Influenced by pop music though incorporating a number of genres in her music, expect to hear examples as she performs music from her debut album, Clean.
"I don't want to be your f****** dog," sings Soccer Mommy's Sophie Allison on "Your Dog," a highlight from her new album Clean. Over knotty, distorted guitars and churning bass, Allison is equal turns confrontational and vulnerable. "I want a love that lets me breathe/I've been choking on your leash." It's a mission statement, a reclamation of power, a rewriting of all indie rock's rules. Soccer Mommy is the project of twenty-year-old Sophie Allison, a Nashville native. She cut her teeth in her local DIY scene, going to shows and hanging out with other musicians, though she kept her own songwriting secret. "I've played music since I was six," says Allison, "and I always wrote songs just for myself. I did it for fun, posting songs on Tumblr, Bandcamp, and Soundcloud. I didn't think anyone would notice."
