UK band Sports Team emerged from Cambridge University’s indie scene in the late 2010s, quickly earning a reputation for raucous live shows and sardonic lyricism. Fronted by charismatic vocalist Alex Rice, the six-piece blends Britpop swagger with sharp social commentary. Their 2020 debut album Deep Down Happy received critical acclaim and a Mercury Prize nomination, marking them as one of Britain’s most exciting new acts. The follow-up, Gulp! (2022), cemented their cult status, showcasing a more mature sound while retaining their signature irreverence. With a devoted fanbase and festival slots across Europe, Sports Team are redefining modern British guitar music.
