Before even listening to this quartet from Minneapolis, I had only known One For The Team solely because of its frontman Ian Anderson, who’s blog (MFR – Minneapolis F*cking Rocks) I happen to visit quite frequently for over a year now. Besides running his successful blog, Anderson also wears many different hats, among them being running his own label at Afternoon Records and author of the book “Here Come The Regulars” which discusses the ins and outs of running a record label on a shoestring budget.
Back to the band, who released an EP titled Build A Garden in April of last year, are set to release their new full-length titled Ghosts next month on March 16th. Listening to a few tracks last night, the band showcases their infectious brand of powerpop, the likes of which I’ve been sort of craving as of late. One interesting little tidbit is that the album was recorded in San Francisco at John Vanderslice’s Tiny Telephone Studios.
Check out the tracks for yourself below, along with tour dates here. Though, the dates revolve more around the east coast, maybe the band will find their way over near us sometime in the near future.
