Sports Team - M5

There's something more than a little bit Britpoppy about this new track from the hotly tipped (by the band themselves as much as anyone but, hey, if ya don't believe in yourself who will eh?) Sports Team. And no, that's not a bad thing, far from it. It may still be a bit too soon to view the Britpop era as a genuinely great time for music but as someone who lived through it, saw the bands (oh so many bands) and bought the CD singles (parts 1, 2 and 3...the labels sure knew how to milk the fans in those days) I just so happen to think it was. Sports Team have that same literate bent possessed by some of Britpop's finest, step forward Strangelove, Spearmint, Pulp, My Life Story, Art Brut etc and, let's face it, music could do with a little more brains and a lot less autotuning right now. I'm going out on a bit of a limb here but I reckon they could be ruddy HUGE...or at the very least ruddy IMPORTANT. Anyway, here's another fine offering, imagine the bastard offspring of the Stones and The Buzzcocks, enjoy...
