About Sprints

Emerging from the vibrant Dublin music scene, Sprints have quickly established themselves as a formidable presence in the alternative music landscape.

Their music is a potent cocktail of punk-infused urgency, indie-rock anthems, and a liberal dose of post-punk angularity, all delivered with a magnetic charisma that has seen them amass a devoted following.

Sprints’ rapid ascent is a testament to their relentless touring and their knack for crafting songs that tackle pertinent social issues with both intelligence and infectious energy. Their debut album, “How Does It Feel?”, released in early 2024, was met with widespread critical acclaim, cementing their status as a band with something significant to say and the musical prowess to say it compellingly. Notable tracks like the anthemic and empowering “Kiss of Death” have become fan favourites, showcasing Karla Chubb’s dynamic vocal range and the band’s signature tight, driving instrumentation. Equally impactful is the defiant energy of “Little Bit of Love,” a track that perfectly encapsulates their ability to blend societal commentary with irresistible hooks. Their live shows are where Sprints truly come alive. Known for their high-octane performances, they command the stage with an unshakeable intensity, their raw energy infectious and their stage presence captivating. This has led to sold-out shows across the UK and Ireland, critically lauded festival appearances, and support slots for some of the biggest names in alternative music, all of which have prepared them for this pivotal moment in their career.
