The band also today share new single Modern Job – the latest taste from the impossibly buzzy Dublin-based quartet. Lyrically, Modern Job finds singer Karla Chubb at her sardonic and angry best, detailing her own personal wish-list “I wish I had the guts/I wish I had the gall/ I wish I had a girl” – all set to cascading guitars and a formidable rhythm section; working in unison to create unrelenting tension, all the while echoing the subject matter Chubb explores in her lyrics. On the new single, singer Karla Chubb offers the following: “Modern Job is a critique of modern existence but also an exploration of growing up queer. In your formative years, you are bombarded with media, books, news that depict what a “normal” life should be. Grow up, fall in love, get married… long live the nuclear family. By contrast when you grow up queer all these ordinary things can seem extraordinary, out of reach and in some parts of the world, illegal. It leaves you feeling lost, excluded and confused. I wanted Modern Job to capture those feelings; chaotic energy, loneliness and longing of normality while trying to find acceptance within yourself.” Sprints have received support from the likes The Guardian, Clash, NME, DIY, Dork as well as love at Radio 1 and Radio 6Music. Recent single How Does The Story Go? (also on the EP) was premiered by Steve Lamacq who praised it as “their best song yet! These guys are going to be something,” The single was included in Spotify UK’s New Music Friday as well as leading in playlists from NME, Loud & Quiet and others. Sprints combine guitar-driven hooks, motoric rhythm and emotive lyricism to create a unique sound that pulls from garage, grunge, punk and beyond. Like the Irish guitar acts who have paved the way for them: Fontaines D.C., Silverbacks and Girl Band, the sound of Sprints is urgent and vital at every turn. Sprints have hit a nerve. Driven by experience, tough political climates and social and economic uncertainty – their music is honest, often politically charged and authentic. ““On course towards future raucous, beer-soaked headline festival sets.” NME “Screw-you power, relentless motorik rhythms and impressively large choruses.” The Guardian “Sprints may be the latest to emerge from Dublin’s fertile stable of guitar-wielding new heroes, but their two-fingers-up, no-nonsense rattle’n’roll arrives as the natural heir to Amyl and the Sniffers’ grot punk” – DIY Artist Sprints Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Nice Swan Recordings Buying Options 12" EP/Mini Album Format 12" , EP/Mini Album Condition New Country UK Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Sprints and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Matt's picks View Product Quick View Sprints Letter To Self Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | City Slang | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th January 2024 £22.00 -
