Had to write about a brilliant new band I have stumbled across (very randomly I should add). The Display Team are a six piece hailing from London and play what I can only describe as proto-progressive jazz punk...sort of thing. They have a mighty brass section too and every member sings (so imagine sometime 6 way harmonies), their key changes are laser sharp and relentless (hence the Jazz likening), the arrangements are chaotic and intricate, and they write witty, sharp and very socially aware lyrics...but most of all humour seems to command their every move.
Chuckles their drummer sent me a promo copy of their yet to be released album Drones, and it is superb. Cheers Chuck!
They are currently touring, so if the happen to be playing near you go see them. From their videos the live shows look intense to say the least. Just hope someone signs them soon!

Hello!
Just stumbled across this. Hope all is well with you. Maybe see you at a The Display Team gig sometime soon. They have a string of dates coming up in London because they're finally (yeah FINALLY!) getting their album released on Genin Records.
Exciting times.
:)
