The cover of Gulp!, the second album by British band Sports Team, is adorned by a dynamite stick. An apt illustration, which also immediately captures the band's sound perfectly. Indeed, the successor to their debut
Deep Down Happy (2020) is once again a bonk of energy that can't be beat. They continue the line of their debut, with bouncy and upbeat indie rock and punk rock. Ten songs take the
… listener into the world of the six from London. Indeed, with their songs the band humorously gives their take on the worries of the English middle class. The songs full of rattling Britpop are predominantly light-hearted in character, but the screaming guitars and sometimes almost megalomaniac vocals of frontman Alex Rice make them anything but salty. Gulp! is uncomplicated, upbeat, straightforward and, above all, a wonderfully wild ride that you'll want to go back on after half an hour. (JvQ)more
