Sprints

SPRINTS formed in late 2019 but have quickly been championed by the likes of NME, BBC Radio 6 & Radio 1, DIY, Clash Magazine and Nialler9. Driven by experience, tough political climates and social and economic uncertainty - their music is honest, often politically charged and authentic.

Sonically, the band's new album, All That Is Over, is a massive step-up from their critically acclaimed debut record; an album that will propel the Irish punks as the breakthrough band of 2025 with a collection of stadium-ready songs with the ambition to match.

Sprints' debut, Letter To Self, marked them as a musical triple threat amongst the alternative landscape: a visceral live band capable of selling out increasingly sizeable tours, who could earn five-star reviews and standout coverage in NME, DIY, Stereogum, Pitchfork, and PASTE. They received an Irish Choice Music Prize nod and gained formidable support at both BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6Music. Throughout 2024 alone, they toured the UK, Europe, and America twice, ending the year with a celebratory, sold-out show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town.

All That Is Over, is a remarkable second album that push the band's dynamics into richer territory, finding new space and nuance while also going harder than ever. Written on tour buses, in soundchecks and very much in real time, it’s an album set against the backdrop of a litany of atrocities - the war in Gaza, the wildfires in LA, Trump’s executive order denying the rights of trans people - that sees SPRINTS trying to make sense of a society gone mad.
