Sports Team - Here's The Thing

[@patrickjmt]

i've heard this song about 20 times and always assumed the singer and band would be funky fresh. was not disappointed.

[@miniitaly]

Dude you are the reason I graduated college. Glad to see we both like the same music.

[@patrickjmt]

@@miniitaly thanks homie :)

[@jasondunn5410]

As a 50 year old that thankfully experienced the whole britpop thing in the mid 90's, I can honestly say thank god for Sports team.. Cracking band that really does evoke memories of Pulp, Supergrass, Space and even Blur.. If Jarvis Cocker and Michael Hutchence had a love child, the lead singer is him!! Am now off to find out more about this band. They've just reignited my passion for new music.. My ramblings are now done!!

Honestly beyond proud of this band. From seeing Kutcher on my Discover Weekly 2 years ago, to seeing them graduate onto the Market Stage at Truck, to the Forum show and them getting signed with Island, to the album, been light years ahead of everyone else the whole time. Most exciting band in Britain without a doubt and my god they still haven't stopped getting better. Obscenely good.

[@sl5223]

They absolutely smashed it at truck

[@harperstephens2640]

He use to do it along with Beverley rose live.

[@jaberosier9853]

Dam that's spot on

[@lady_dangerlady_danger5716]

I thought he was a weird cross between Jarvis and Hutchence.

[@staceysargalis6408]

LOL

[@karl1914]

With a bit of Jager chucked in, very captivating

[@stephenwalker850]

No he ain’t

One of the best songs of the year 2020!!! and very applicable to the world in which we live... as it's all just lies, lies, lies... lies!

[@inthearmsofvolleyball]

I’ve never listened to this band before today, but honestly they make great music.

[@whoisshe123]

They're going to blow up hugely when the album comes out, this is absolutely brilliant! Very jealous of everyone who was at the house party album launch. 😭🥰

[@connorlliuy2003]

Sad to say. It ended up not being at their house. Still mad night at the pub.

here's the thing. every so often a perfect song just comes along. and that ain't no lie.

[@jamiebrown4647]

When sports team got added to the TRNSMT lineup I think I pissed a little. Can’t fucking wait to see them live

[@aikighost]

I saw them 2 years ago In reading UK when nobody knew who the fuck they were and they were great then, so yeah, youre in for a SHOW. :)

[@Barons.knitting]

New favorite band. I found through 2021 indie bands. Can't get enough of their energy!

[@mothell6697]

This song is so underrated.

[@SANITIZEDINC]

How is it possible this band has only 7k subscribers here? That's nuts. They should have a crap-ton. What an awesome song. Great band.

[@samuelpullen6624]

shaun I’m not denying that other songs are a bop, but it takes a special kind of song to be a banger and that’s what this is

[@Will-fn2ig]

We need cameos of all the members voices in the songs now. I vote Ben to be next.

[@tada792]

Amazing! The vocals always remind me of Dr frank n Furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show. That’s a compliment, I swear. The this band gives me energy.
