Ahead of the weekend saw Sports Team return with their brilliant coming of age single, Maybe When We’re 30. Accompanied by a video directed by the band themselves, the track slowly ticks on across a swirling synth line and building melody before reaching its climatic guitar driven crescendo. Lyricist Rob Knaggs elaborates further on the song's meaning, “It’s a song for Brooklyn Beckham. 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.” Take a listen/watch below.

‘Boys These Days’, the forthcoming album is available to pre-order on CD, vinyl and cassette as well as a number of exclusive limited edition formats including a box set, a signed test pressing and picture disc vinyl.

Sports Team are Alex Rice (vocals), Robert Knaggs (lyrics, backing vocals, rhythm guitar), Henry Young (lead guitar, lap steel), Oli Dewdney (bass), Al Greenwood (drums) and Ben Mack (synths, piano & percussion).
