Another football-themed song for you on this glorious sunny afternoon, but don't be fooled by the title. It's technically not about football.
This infectious post-punk cracker is named after an old football tactic based on the theory that “no one part is bigger than the sum of the team.” Here, the band deliver a message calling all sectors of society, composed of artists, teachers, blue-collar workers, and many more, to fight against oppressive figures and threatening cults of personality, much like promoting team-oriented football strategies that emphasize teamwork over individual play.
Andrew Savage from the group says: "The lyrics take the form of a manifesto, which is fitting for the first song on this album I think. Bold and declarative." Parquet Courts are one of the greatest lyrical bands around, heavily influenced by the genius of Mark E Smith.
It can be found on their brilliant album 'Wide Awake!', and is also available as a very special limited edition 7" single with artwork based on the old Panini football sticker albums.
