Team Water Polo - Letting Go

Preston’s Team Waterpolo release their first single on February 25th 2008 through Moshi Moshi. ‘Letting Go’, the first track written by the band in July 2007, immediately attracted the attention of Myspace who quickly made them their featured artist of the week. The track has currently racked up nearly 25,000 spins as this Preston based four piece have emerged into the public arena over the last few months. ‘Problematic Girls’, the flip side, is another MySpace favourite with 15,000 plays.

‘Letting Go’ and ‘Problematic Girls’ are ideal calling cards for the TWP sound and characterise their unique mix of myriad musical strands to create a pop sound that is, somehow, both immediate and insistently persuasive. Both tracks featured on the release were recorded and produced by Team Waterpolo using the free Apple Mac application Garageband. Pinning down the Team Waterpolo sound is an almost futile exercise but, for now, we are indebted to the NME for their characterisation of ‘Letting Go’ as “Like Franz’s ‘Take Me Out’ played to the tune of ‘Mamma Mia’”.

The past month has seen the band make their live debut in their home town to a very busy 53 Degrees, play early gigs with January tour companions Joe Lean and The Jing Jang Jong and support CSS on selected dates. You can see Team Waterpolo at the following shows in the New Year:
