Soccer Team (band)


Soccer Team is an American band from Washington, D.C., featuring Ryan Nelson and Melissa Quinley.

History

Ryan Nelson and Melissa Quinley met as co-workers at Dischord Records and began writing songs together in Nelson's house. Slowly a collection of fourteen tracks was amassed that the duo released on Dischord as "Volunteered" Civility & Professionalism in 2006. Nelson then relocated to Flint, Michigan to attend school and the project was put on hiatus.
When Nelson returned to D.C. in 2012, the two reunited and added keyboardist/guitarist Jason Hutto and Quinley's husband, drummer Dennis Kane. This lineup released the band's second album, Real Lessons In Cynicism, in 2015.
