Team Waterpolo

Team Waterpolo are a British indie pop band who formed in Preston in the UK in July 2007. The "NME" made their debut single ‘Letting Go’ Single of the Week and gave them a place on their New Noise Tour alongside Crystal Castles, Friendly Fires and White Lies. The band signed to Sony imprint Epic in August 2008 and plan to release their debut album in 2009. The band consists of Fred Davis on vocals, Nathan Standlee on guitar, DJ and sampler Ruggero Lorenzini, and Lex Dunn on drums. ‘Letting Go’, the first track written by the band, attracted the attention of Myspace, who made them their featured artist of the week. In February 2008 Team Waterpolo released the track as a single on Moshi Moshi Records, with Problematic Girls as a B-side, which was also included on a compilation released by CatCutter Records later that year. Team Waterpolo have supported Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong, Black Kids, The Wombats and Supergrass. Their next single ‘So Called Summer’ is to be recorded at the countryside studio used by Alex Turner for his Mercury shortlisted The Last Shadow Puppets and they have just announced the dates for their biggest UK headline tour, which ends in their hometown Preston.

They were the winners of the Steve Lamacq Rebel Playlist in September 2008
