Letter to self | CD | Sprints

The post-punk sensation SPRINTS from Dublin, consisting of Karla Chubb (vocals/guitar), guitarist Colm O'Reilly, drummer Jack Callan, and bassist Sam McCann, traveled to the French Loire Valley in 2023 to record their album in twelve days with Daniel Fox from the band Gilla. The result is a stunningly powerful album with a message of self-acceptance.
With "Letter To Self," SPRINTS passionately and perseveringly follow their own path to satisfaction, using pain to grow. Inspired by Savages, their sound has matured into an energetic and raw garage punk that combines influences from early Pixies, Bauhaus, Siouxsie Sioux, IDLES, and LCD Soundsystem.
Singer, guitarist, and lead songwriter Karla Chubb confronts her inner turmoil and uses her platform to address inequality and issues close to her heart, such as the campaign for "Repeal The 8th" and the ongoing battle for women's physical autonomy, struggles with self-acceptance, identity, mental health issues, sexuality, and catholic guilt. SPRINTS' debut album, "Letter To Self," will be released on January 5, 2024, via City Slang. After a magnificent performance at the Reperbahnfestival 2023, the band will embark on extensive tours in 2024, including a stop in Germany.
