Sports Team Announce First Record Label Release

Sports Team recently announced that they would be setting up their own record label, named Holm Front. 

The first band to have a release with the potential bursting label is the London five piece, UGLY. Their single will come out this month, on November 29th via digital download, before a vinyl release on 10th December.

UGLY’s 7″ will be named Ugly’s Last Supper, which they spoke about in a recent interview:

“For these two tracks we’ve decided to take a more hymnic approach to our indie rock music. Immerse yourself in ‘The Last Supper at the Regal Wetherspoons’ and ‘Redemption on the Road to Damascus’ to find spiritual satisfaction, as well as a few minutes of music to relax, tap your feet or clap your hands!”

Sports Team also spoke about the first release:

“We’re quite opinionated about bands we like and bands we don’t like,” vocalist Alex Rice tells us. “This is – to an extent – putting your money where your mouth is. We’re gonna say ‘This is what guitar music should be, this is how it’s gonna get cool, and these are the bands we like’ and we’ll release them, why not.”

“We talk a lot about the UK guitar music scene, and what we love about it, and what we hate,” guitarist and songwriter Rob Knaggs offers. “Then when you’re in a position where you’re lucky and start doing ok, you have to stop and say ‘Who would you back? How do you use your platform?’.”
