Sports Team Vinyl Records
Playing energetic, guitar-based indie rock with a sharp but playful edge, Sports Team are a band from the North London community of Harlesden whose taut sound is matched to witty lyrics that celebrate flip phones, Ashton Kutcher, and tacky British seaside resorts. After earning a reputation for over-the-top live shows during their early days at Cambridge University, Sports Team issued a fistful of singles and EPs in 2018 and 2019 that captured their lean power and sense of fun, with the singalong chorus of "Kutcher," the slow burn of "Stanton," and the sleek but muscular "M5" capturing them at their best. Their first full-length release, 2020's Deep Down Happy, debuted at number two on the U.K. album chart.
