Former Champ
An underground power pop act.
Tracks5
Former Champ both draw from and reach beyond their lineage of Scottish guitar pop, melding the melodic genius of Teenage Fanclub with the anthemic boldness of Thin Lizzy, and the breezy excellence of Alvvays. Like many of their influences, Former Champ’s identity is one of a tight gang, with strength in the collective. Released via Former Champ’s own label Hand of God, the band’s upcoming debut album I saw you in paradise follows Vol.1 and Vol.2, the band’s pair of intention-setting EPs, released in 2024 to acclaim from publications including Stereogum and The Skinny. Defined by the dichotomies and contradictions we all accumulate by our mid-30s, Former Champ’s songs are rich with the realisation that you can be cool and still give a fuck at the same time; that you can be happy with your lot and still think about your parallel selves living out variations on your life. Rich with alchemy, sly wisdom and complexity, they’re all perfect-tens of perfect pop.
