Sportsguitar is a Swiss band formed in Lucerne in 1993. The band is centered on singer and guitarist and guitarist , though Saum left Sportsguitar after their third album. Little is known of the contemporary activities of the band, as they for instance have never had a working website. However, Sportsguitar has so far released five albums and made some fuzz on the indie scene with their guitar-based, melodic, and naïve, yet profound lo-fi inspired by bands like Pavement and Television among others.

When Sportsguitar themselves had released the first album on their own label, Sub Pop Records put out a Sportsguitar 7" vinyl. The band was then signed by well-known independent label Matador Records which released their second and third albums.
