Hailing from various parts of the UK, six-piece Sports Team met whilst studying at Cambridge. They’re now based in Harlesden (west London), tucked 'between the McVities biscuit factory and an evangelical church'.

Channeling a lyrical cynicism that touches on young-professionals and provincial clichés, their debut EP "Winter Nets" - recorded with producer Dave McCracken (Ian Brown, Depeche Mode, Florence + The Machine) - serves as a darkly humorous introduction to their weird world.

With influences ranging from indie pioneers Pavement, through to 90s post punk also-rans The Family Cat, Sports Team have cut through the ranks of London’s live scene and become one of the country’s most exciting and important discoveries.
