More about: Sprints

Dublin four-piece Sprints have just shared their new track ‘How Does The Story Go?’ via Nice Swan Records. It’s their first single since their Manifesto EP in March, and their second EP is expected to arrive later this year.

Vocalist Karla Chubb’s spoken lyrics are brutally honest in places, and always relatable in their vulnerability. Recited along to noisy guitars, it’s a stellar representation of introversion and frustration. Fans of Amyl and the Sniffers will love their unique take on punk. In ‘How Does The Story Go?’, Sprints prove themselves as another formidable band in the Dublin alternative scene.

The band said that the song is about "Friends are emigrating, buying houses, growing older and maturing, whatever that means, and sometimes you feel stuck. It feels like the world is spinning and moving around you, and while there is nothing else I'd rather be doing than playing music with my adopted family, sometimes you can't help but feel left behind."
