Press Quotes
“I first heard the garage pop of Team Spirit at this year’s South by Southwest, where the Brooklyn band was fun, sleazy, but never sinful. However, in their music video for “MRDR It’s OK”, the band find themselves deep in the bowels of an animated Hell. Omnes relinquite spes, o vos intrantes, dudes” – Consequence Of Sound
“In the realm of fantastical, violent animated rock videos, I’ll take this one over the also-great Queens Of The Stone Age “I Appear Missing” clip” – Stereogum
“Spunky and sunny, Brooklyn-based Team Spirit embodies all the characteristics of their name, creating a swinging surf sound with bursts of poppy cheer. ” –The Deli
“definitely a band to watch in 2013.” –We All Want Someone To Shout For
“Team Spirit is Hellbent on making all current British guitar rock bands sound like unfit wankers.” –The Boston Phoenix
“crunchy power-pop garage rock… with its sixties-style wordless sing-alongs, wandering bassline, and infinitely catchy guitar riffs. Check it out.” –Pretty Much Amazing
“Does anybody remember The Exploding Hearts? These guys are continuing where they left off. Catchy, punky hooks” –Invisible Children Blog
“(Team Spirit) makes music that you can’t help but bop your head to: It’s catchy, it’s happy, it’s loud; it’s everything you want” –Feast of Music
