There’s a palpable flurry of momentum surrounding SPRINTS right now. The Dublin band have enjoyed a whirlwind year: in a blur of back-to-back wins, they unveiled their Top 20 debut album Letter To Self, opened for IDLES and Pixies, and delivered feverishly talked-about sets at Glastonbury, End Of The Road and All Together Now. All of this has led to them becoming an essential new name in contemporary rock, building a reputation for urgent, compassionate songwriting blackened by personal tales of trauma and resilience.
Since the January release of Letter To Self – which received 5* reviews from NME, DIY and Dork, plus acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork and Brooklyn Vegan – the four-piece have taken their visceral live show across the globe. Harnessing the adrenaline of non-stop gigging into new material has resulted in Feast, an intriguing introduction to SPRINTS’ next era and a window into a bold, transformative stage of the band's ascent.
Drummer Jack Callan describes the single as a “true full-circle moment”, having recorded it at Dublin’s Sonic Studios, also the birthplace of their 2021 EP Manifesto and its follow-up, A Modern Job. Produced by Dan Fox of Gilla Band and penned by guitarist/songwriter Karla Chubb ahead of an extensive festival run, Feast glows with conviction. Inspired by the literary subgenres of gothic fiction and body horror, as well as the subversive poetry of Mary Oliver, it uses pummelling riffs to communicate all the frisson of desire and queer possibility – a sensation bolstered by Chubb’s rich, full-bodied vocal. It’s the type of track that leaves you reeling.
“With all the touring and many changes in our personal lives has come this rediscovery of ourselves, almost like a rebirth,” says Chubb. “But I also like the idea of pursuing passions really unapologetically and what that looks like to other people. It’s like us, as a band, being quite greedy with our ambitions.”
It was there, amid the adrenaline-jolted rhythms of touring life, that Feast was born. This surge of fresh energy was boosted by the introduction of Zac Stephenson (guitar) to the band, now a fully-fledged member of SPRINTS.
