SPRINTS is a garage noise band from Dublin, Ireland, featuring Karla Chubb (vocals, guitar, charisma), Colm O’Reilly (guitar), Sam McCann (bass) and Jack Callan (drums). Just under five years after their formation – inspired by a Savages gig – and countless well-received shows of their own, their debut album Letter To Self is out now. We are presented with eleven intense and convincing songs in which powerful screams and mean guitars merge, and “negative energy is transformed into an opportunity for communal catharsis and healing.” They completely live up to the first words of their earworm single Heavy (‘I’ve a simple idea, I’m going to make it stick’), but they also know how to execute relatable and meaningful messages. This is heavy but exciting music in which you can completely lose yourself, as sensational as it is urgent.
Letter To Self, produced by Daniel Fox, is out now digitally, on CD and vinyl LP through City Slang.
