Athlete is a British band consisting of:-
- Carey Willets - bass and vocals,
- Joel Pott - guitar and vocals,
- Steve Roberts - drums and backing vocals,
- Tim Wanstall - keyboards and backing vocals.
The band came to prominence in 2003 when their debut album - Vehicles and Animals - produced popular singles such as You Got the Style and El Salvador. Their second album, Tourist, reached Number One in the UK Album Charts in its first week.
They are in the same vague musical bracket as Coldplay and Oasis (that is, "British Indie/Pop/Rock"), but have interesting features in their sound which the aforementioned bands do not.
