Origin
Bio
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. Combining the nasal snarl of Bon Scott with Todd Rundgren produced Psychedelic Furs, Sports Team have carved out a sound that defies expectation.

UK band Sports Team had a rough introduction to America – a day after landing while getting Starbucks in Vallejo they were robbed at gunpoint and their gear was stolen. They could have been angry and cynical as they played their second date of the tour at The Chapel in San Francisco on the night of December 7th

“We're not an easy band to like,” admits Sports Team frontman Alex Rice. It's a curious comment to make just four songs into the six-piece's debut outing at Brixton Academy.

If the band cut an anachronistic figure, that's part of the appeal.
