    Happy hour at the all-you-can-eat alt-rock buffet is clearly open. ... It’s all delivered rambunctiously enough that it’s easy to simply enjoy Gulp! as the alt-pop pick’n’mix it is. Go gorge.

    A cocky, self-assured record that blends Sports Team’s chaotic energy with a smart, heartfelt understanding of the power of guitar music.

    While lyrically bleak, Gulp! delivers its pessimism with fist-pumping enthusiasm for the most part, at least until the meditative, Kinks-evoking closer "Light Industry" emphasizes life's repetition on the album's one true outlier, like a final wink and a nod.

I wondered why Sports Team as a name and found that the lead guitarist used to be a sports reporter for CNN. Love the rhythm and lead guitar work with no overbearing shouting vocals you can actually follow the lyrics. Just a lot of all around pub musicians that met in college with a strong sense of dry humor-love it! The house is rockin!… Full Review »
