If you love raucous power pop with great energy, a plenitude of hooks and a genuine sense of fun, then the five-track, self-titled, EP from New York's Team Spirit should be first on your list for your April 9 trip to the record store. The bass lines are wonderfully thick, the two-guitar attack shredtastick, and the vocals combine glam half-scream with power pop choruses. An up-tempo party album for 2013? Sure, thanks to your about to be overworked repeat button.
Try it out on "MRDR It's Ok" --
Ayad Al Adhamy, who has toured with Passion Pit and runs his own indie label (Black Bell Records) apparently formed Team Spirit to get back to his guitar rock roots. I hope he likes how the project has evolved, because I certainly do.
The opening track --
Team Spirit is Ayad Al Adhamy (lead vocals/guitars), Cosmo Kilburn DiGiulio (guitars), Roman Tobias Pettigrew (backing vocals/bass), and Mike Addesso (drums). The EP is released on Vice Records.
One of the tracks, "F*ck the Beach", boasts an official video created by Swedish animators Hannes and Johannes. Be forewarned, it is decidedly NSFW --
