Sports Team: "We're all for throwing the dice"
London group Sports Team are turning heads all over the capital.

West London's Sports Team are a precocious bunch. A six-piece originally hailing from Cambridge, they started off as musical primitivists making music that was highly energetic to compensate for their lack of musical proficiency. However, as they prepare to release their debut EP ‘Winter Nets', it's clear to see the group have already come a long way. If the malignant stomp of ‘Stanton' hasn't won you over, their energetic live show will. While the band prepare for world domination, we caught up with frontman Alex Rice.
Hey Alex, can you tell us about the beginnings of the band?
We met studying at Cambridge. There wasn't much of a guitar scene in the city then, or really much appetite for one. We started putting on our own shows, and slowly people came round to it. We were lucky to all have the same attitude, we loved playing live and weren't worried about much beyond that.
How has your sound developed since then?
We've got better at playing our instruments, and the songs have improved, but it's stayed constant in a lot of ways. Our sound developed out of our limitations as musicians, and the dynamic between the six of us. None of us had been in bands before, and none of us were skilled enough to copy bands we liked, so we just sort of went about it the best we could. I think because of that, we've ended up with a sound of our own.
