DESCRIPTION:
Indie Rock - Ltd Edition Indie Shop Only Green Vinyl Version, In Die Cut Sleebve with Fold Out Newspaper
Second studio album via Island Records.
Signposting a bold and ambitious new era for the band, Sports Team explain that ‘R Entertainment’ explores “The packaging down of all human experience into entertainment, prompted by the infinite scroll through social feeds and the manic formlessness of the images we are hit with every day. Graphic news interrupted by ads for season 17 of The Bodyguard, news as a rubbernecking, passively waiting for the next drop of horror as we flick through recipes.”
Sports Team are Alex Rice (lead vocals), Rob Knaggs (rhythm guitar + vocals), Henry Young (lead guitar), Oli Dewdney (bass), Al Greenwood (drums) and Ben Mack (keyboard + percussion). Formed in 2016, the band released two EPs Winter Nets and Keep Walking! before sharing their debut album Deep Down Happy in June 2020 to widespread critical acclaim, praised by The Times for their “indomitable spirit and a refusal to take things too seriously” and The Guardian for their “sharply observational lyrics skewering the mores of suburbia”.

Last FM Information on Sports Team
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Cambridge alumni turned post-punk anti-heroes lead by world famous Alex Rice channel their cynicism and millennial depression into a rallying cry against multi-story car parks, craft beer, eggs and London suburbia. The band currently consists of Alex Rice (lead vocalist), Rob Knaggs (rhythm guitar, vocals), Henry Young (lead guitar), Oli Dewdney (bass), Al Greenwood (drums) and Ben Mack (keys).
Combining the nasal snarl of Bon Scott with Todd Rundgren produced Psychedelic Furs, Sports Team have carved out a sound that defies expectation. The group have cast off the shackles of regurgitated indie pop in favour of a raw and unfiltered look at the everything from the state of the commuter belt to the troubles facing young professionals.
Sports Team, like fellow Londoner's Shame, have clawed out of the post-apocalyptic wasteland that is British guitar music and delivered an offering that draws heavily from this island’s rich musical history whilst setting their sights firmly on the future.
