#939 Team Spirit - Team Spirit EP

This is the kind of stuff that gets you excited about music again.

Team Spirit make irresistible, thrilling indie rock at its absolute best, blasting you with cannonfulls of handclaps, shoutalongs, and hooky hook hooks, all at terrifying speed, chests flapping against dodgy seatbelts. These guys know their rock, learning from everyone from girl groups and Chuck Berry, all the way through Nirvana and The Thermals, and right on up to Dananananackroyd and Wolf Parade. I made it through half a track before I hit songkick (they were here last month, fuck! Come back, play with Streight Angular, we'll have the Boston dance party of a lifetime).

This is the most excited I've been about a band's debut EP since Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Sticking Fingers into Sockets (ps, please don't become super fucking boring like those bands) 5/5

update: listen to 4 of the 5 tracks here!
