London, England’s Sports Team have shared “Here It Comes Again” the lead-single is off their debut North American EP Making Hay due this Fall on Bright Antenna Records. The track was produced by Burke Reid (Courtney Barnett), the song radiates the frenetic energy of the band’s live shows, conjoining a flurry of guitars with unmistakably English lyrics from frontman Alex Rice and songwriter Rob Knaggs. The song’s accompanying visual finds Rice in a bee sting-induced fever dream, joining the rest of the band for an impromptu performance of the song on the English countryside.

The new single arrives as the band gears up to make their first US shows post SXSW, with three shows in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York this month. The band’s momentum has continued to build behind their bizarre and visceral live shows that they began whilst still attending the University of Cambridge. Recently selling out London’s historic Electric Ballroom, Sports’ Team’s shows see singer Alex Rice lead a coordinated yet slightly unhinged performance against a steely faced Ben Mack, who regularly takes calls and rolls cigarettes on stage. The band play shows in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, followed by a run of European dates.
