TEAM: Resonate South

by Mike Diver
With an unrelenting riff as big as Prince Andrew’s yearly travel expenses, TEAM’s second single, and first to be properly lifted from their quite frankly stunning Penalyn album, comes on like Soundgarden’s necrophiliac ghost fucking Slint’s still-warm corpses til their post-rock brains fall out. Indeed, so brutal is the sole riff that fills the four-and-some minutes of ‘Resonate South’ that it renders the rest of the song – replete with spoken-word style lyrics a la Joeyfat – fairly irrelevant; there’s no discernible ‘tune’ as such, at least not in any conventional sense.

Such an uncompromising start is no bad thing though, as this three-track package is completed by a brace of tuneful post-punk-ish efforts, providing welcome relief from the title track’s skull-flogging intensity. The stop-start dynamics of ‘Racing Line’ in particular are perfectly suited to a dingy rock club dancefloor, back-arching moves a certainty. Not spent any quality time with TEAM yet? Consider this your introduction to one of the country’s finest rock acts.

Re: TEAM - Resonate South

Is that why I got signed up to a Pineapster mailing list without asking?

Re: TEAM - Resonate South

It's probably because your name is down as a contact to send press releases and news to on this site.

Re: TEAM - Resonate South

Hey dude,

We're (A DAY LEFT) not from the East Midlands but we do rock (hope so anyways).

Would like to play the Pineapster Communion... are you intersted in out of towners? We're from Leeds. Have played the Shed and would like to return to Leicester....

Hello, I went to see TEAM at the Leicester date, the rocked hard. I have to acknowledge one of the supports, ideal's grace, as they were kick ass too.

Speaking of Leicester/Pineapster gigs and that, this saturday at SUMO in leicester you'll be able to catch 3 of the best:

tired irie
public relations exercise
queen mary's revenge

Yeah...3 bands.

Re: TEAM - Resonate South

I started a new thread by accident, this was only meant to be a reply in a TEAM thread.

For that i'm sorry.

TEAM - Resonate South

Saw TEAM in Leeds last night (drove 90 miles from Newcastle for the privilege)

A word of advice... if you get a chance to see this band live, DO IT! Extremely exciting band to watch with immense stage presence. GO out and get the TEAM debut album, it’s a corker.

They are currently playing a lot of new material and it is sounding really really good. I for one can’t wait to hear this stuff on CD.
