Sports Team have released 'Maybe When We're 30' ahead of their third album: "It's a song for Brooklyn Beckham"

Sports Team have released new single 'Maybe When We're 30', alongside a self-directed video. The track arrives ahead of their third studio album 'Boys These Days', set for release on 23rd May via Distiller Records/Bright Antenna.

The new single, which explores themes of settling down, showcases a different side to the band's sound, combining elements reminiscent of Pulp and The National. The track was produced by Matias Tellez, known for his work with Girl In Red, CMAT, and Gracie Abrams.

"It's a song for Brooklyn Beckham," lyricist Rob Knaggs explains. "When you start off in a band you feel like Slurms Mackenzie (the Futurama party slug). You can't believe it's your job to travel around the world and drink beer and make music with your friends. And then one morning you look around, and all your friends are getting married, and you think, maybe all I really want is to grow old, and get a dog, and write horrible things about Brooklyn Beckham on Facebook, and go on cruises, and have petty disputes with my neighbours about whether the council recycles cardboard."

'Boys These Days', which follows their previous Top 3 albums 'Deep Down Happy' and 'Gulp!', was recorded in Bergen, Norway. The album examines modern life and social media's endless cycle, which the band refer to as "the churn."
