Biography
Athletics is an Ambient/Indie Rock band that formed in the fall of 2008 in Oneonta, NY. The band started when Garrett Yaeger and John Cannon left The Cast Before The Break. Garrett started Athletics as a solo project but it quickly became a full band endeavor when he enlisted John Cannon, Howie Cohen and Jimmy Boyce
As a band they wrote enough material to record a five song EP entitled “Sleep Comes In Interludes,” which was recorded in Oneonta and produced by TJ Foster who was their former bandmate in The Cast Before The Break.
After releasing the EP, Athletics continued to write more material, until a cohesive group of songs were ready to record a full length record. The band recorded their debut full length record in Oneonta, NY over the course of a few months in the winter and spring of 2010. The tracks were produced by Moving Mountains’ Greg Dunn, and later released on Deep Elm records as the album “Why Aren’t I Home?” on October 26, 2010.
