Our Take

SPORTS TEAM's latest offering, "Gulp!", is a rollercoaster ride of chaotic energy and infectious hooks. The six-piece band from Cambridge have perfected their blend of indie rock with a dash of post-punk snarl, creating a sound that is uniquely their own.

The album kicks off with the anthemic "Here It Comes Again", setting the tone for the rest of the record with its frantic pace and sing-along chorus. Lead singer Alex Rice's playful lyrics and theatrical delivery bring a sense of mischief to tracks like "Happy (God's Own Country)" and "Chugging Away".

One of the standout moments on "Gulp!" is the blistering "Going Soft", a visceral track that showcases the band's ability to switch gears from catchy pop melodies to raging punk rock in the blink of an eye. The propulsive rhythm section drives the song forward, while the jangly guitars add a touch of nostalgia to the overall sound.

Throughout the album, SPORTS TEAM maintain a sense of urgency and unpredictability that keeps listeners on their toes. Tracks like "Fear and Hatred in Jane Austen's Bath" and "The Races" showcase the band's knack for crafting songs that are both catchy and thought-provoking.

In conclusion, "Gulp!" is a wild and exhilarating ride from start to finish, cementing SPORTS TEAM's reputation as one of the most exciting bands in the UK music scene. Strap in and get ready to gulp down this album – you won't regret it.
