Jun 25, 2020The album's length is just about right, going by in an efficient 36 minutes but feeling satisfying at the end, and while fans are bound to pick favorites, there's not a real dud in the bunch.
-
Jun 22, 2020Pleasingly, their debut album suggests there’s enough musical substance to back up their fighting talk.
-
Jun 16, 2020These songs feel immediately familiar and timeless—you could have sworn you heard these melodies on so-and-so’s album from 15 or 25 years ago, but it never feels contrived despite obvious comparisons throughout.
-
Jun 5, 2020So the debut album is done, and it’s a good one.

Q MagazineJun 4, 2020Music of the mid-00s is undergoing a revival. London-based Sports Team are the fresh case. [Jun 2020, p.107]

Jun 4, 2020In 12 songs, they make it pretty clear which side they’re on, and it looks like the winner - smart, engaged, and willing to crack a joke with the faith that their musical dexterity will speak for itself. Love them or hate them, dismiss them at your peril.

Jun 4, 2020Yes, there are moments when their sound threatens to stir up the ghosts of indie landfill past – his staccato “ah ah ahs” and “la la la” drawls on “The Races”, for instance – but ultimately the charm and unpredictability of their vignettes see them through.
-
Jun 4, 2020These 12 tracks are a furious, funny flag in the ground from a band who make absolutely no bones about who they are.
-
Jun 4, 2020Sports Team does have the tunes to match their swagger, and having a sense of humor certainly doesn't hurt.
-
Jun 4, 2020Combining the spirit of Britpop with the attitude of modern day post punk, tracks like “Going Soft” , “Here It Comes Again” and the familiar cries of “Camel Crew” and “Kutcher”, swell, expand and know just when to pull the pin into an eruption of chaos.
