<p>SPRINTS are a four-piece garage-noise band based out of Dublin, Ireland. They are made up of Karla Chubb on vocals, Sam McCann on bass, Colm O’Reilly on guitar and Jack Callan on drums.</p> <p>The band is pretty new, having formed in late 2019. Just in time to get a few shows and songs out before the global pandemic hit. However, what is very interesting about these guys is that in that short time they gained quite a bit of notoriety, getting radio play on the UK’s BBC radio 6 and 1 and having write ups in publications such as NME and Hot Press Music.</p> <p>Their music combines guitar-driven hooks, motoric rhythm and emotive lyrics to create a sound that is pretty unique drawing inspiration from the garage, grunge and punk genres.</p> <p>They released their debut EP Manifesto in March of this year and are looking to sign with a label and get a full-length album out as soon as they can.</p> <p>I caught up with vocalist, Karla and bassist, Sam via zoom to talk about the forming of the band, how they have been navigating being a new band during a pandemic and what is coming up next for them.</p> <p>Here’s my chat with Karla and Sam of Sprints.</p> <p><br></p> <p>SPRINTS</p> <p>Bandcamp | https://sprintsmusic.bandcamp.com/</p> <p>Spotify | https://spoti.fi/2UGSq3V</p> <p>Apple Music | https://apple.co/3rHJmaT</p> <p>IG | https://www.instagram.com/sprintsmusic</p>
