SPRINTS today share avowedly political new single “Trickle Down.” The Irish four-piece have just returned from a sold-out and extremely well-received US tour. They will now begin the European leg, a run that takes them all the way to festival season - including some recently announced appearances at 2000trees, Bulletproof Festival, and Float Along Festival.
On the new single, the band says: “’Trickle Down’ is about watching systems fail in slow motion, housing crisis, rising costs, culture wars, climate collapse, and being told to stay patient. It’s the frustration of a generation stuck in “wait mode” while everything burns.”
SPRINTS have long been celebrated for crafting a ferocious live show that echoes the band’s recorded sound, equal parts raw and refined, catapulting listeners into controlled chaos. See below for a full list of dates.

What people are saying about SPRINTS All That Is Over:
“A representative mix of personal and political atrocities, All That Is Over is far from a grim headbanger, rather offering a cathartic, frustrated call to action that seems timely as ever in its blunt demands for care and safe spaces in a world on fire.” - All Music
“Building on their raucous garage punk roots, All That Is Over feels like a big step forward, with striking crescendos, sludgy subdued moments, and, of course, the fierce vocals, searing guitars, and pounding drums that first drew listeners in.” - KEXP
“As with any great thrill ride, by the time ‘Desire’ has simmered down and its final note brought All That Is Over to a close, there is an overwhelming urge to do it all over again as soon as possible.” Spectrum Culture
“The Irish garage-punks are charged with the spirit of something unholy” - Record Collector
“Cathartically boisterous, brutally candid post-punk” - The Guardian
“All That Is Over is the sound of a group with something urgent to say, and the chops to say it louder, weirder and smarter than anyone else” -Dork
“The anger remains palpable, the lyrics ever relatable, and ‘All That Is Over’ injects enough ingenuity to keep SPRINTS right at the top of the class” - DIY
“The race to rock stardom is a marathon, not a 100-metre dash. But with this superb record, Sprints – sometimes fast, sometimes furious, always fucking fantastic – prove they’re in it for the long haul.” Kerrang!
“Many of these songs tussle with the jubilant status of the band – newly anointed off the back of their promising debut Letter to Self – against the apocalyptic landscape of the modern age.” [All That Is Over] - The Independent
“The second album by the noise-rock breakouts is sculpted and anthemic” [All That Is Over] - NME
“Chubb’s lyrics are so sharp they could pierce the skin like a sword” - The Skinny
“An exhilarating helter-skelter between strident, gothic clang and jubilant, unruly rock.” [4/5] MOJO
“Now, with their explosive follow-up All That is Over out now, they’re set to leap from critical darlings to one of 2025’s breakthrough acts” - 1883
“SPRINTS exhilarate on All That Is Over” - The Line Of Best Fit
“SPRINTS continue to be a vessel for clever driven punk music” - Clash
SPRINTS’ sophomore effort, All That Is Over, is a remarkable second effort that pushes 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. The 11-track long player features the standout singles, “Descartes,““Rage,”“Beg,” and “Better,” and was produced by Daniel Fox of Gilla Band at La Frette studio outside of Paris.
Since the SPRINTS’ inception, they have established a name for themselves, crafting a ferocious live show that echoes the band’s recorded sound, equal parts raw and refined, catapulting listeners into controlled chaos.
SPRINTS’ previously announced international tour dates are currently underway with a series of in-store/out-store performances in the UK and Germany, September 27th-October 3rd. The band will embark on a headline and festival run in the EU/UK tour October 17th-Nov. 20th.

SPRINTS have also shared a new song/video for their latest single “Better.” This aurally visceral song is off the band’s forthcoming new record, All That Is Over, out September 26th on Sub Pop for North America and City Slang for the rest of the world.
Directed by Niamh Bryson, “Better” is a song that “sounds like a love song but definitely isn’t,” shares frontperson Karla Chubb. “It explores the idea not of liking someone better, but only liking them when they’re better. It’s tough, sad, but honest and frank. It’s an old demo that was brought back in conversation by Sam and backed by Zac. It’s inspired quite heavily by MBV, especially the Loveless album, and has touches of Big Dreams by Amyl and the Sniffers.”
All That Is Over is now available to preorder on CD/LP/DSPs from Sub Pop in North America and City Slang for the rest of the world. LP orders from both labels will receive the album on limited-edition marbled coral pink vinyl (while supplies last). The album features the standout and previously released songs “Rage”, “Beg,” and “Descartes,“ the latter of which Stereogum calls “…a feverish slasher.”

Tracklisting: 1. Abandon 2. To The Bone 3. Descartes 4. Need 5. Beg 6. Rage 7. Something’s Gonna Happen 8. Pieces 9. Better 10. Coming Alive 11. Desire
On September 26th, Dublin band SPRINTS will release their sophomore record All That Is Overon Sub Pop for North America and City Slang for the rest of the world. All That Is Over is a remarkable second effort that pushes the band’s dynamics into richer territory, finding new space and nuance while also going harder than ever.
Following the release of their debut single, “Descartes,“ which Stereogum calls “… a feverish slasher,” comes the release of two new singles, “Rage” and “Beg” SPRINTS frontperson, Karla Chubb, says of both singles:
“Rage”: “I think in the world today, it’s a lot easier to be angry than it is to help facilitate change. People are fatigued, disillusioned - it’s understandable, but we shouldn’t be pointing the finger at those already marginalised and making them shoulder the blame. The world is full of false prophets and false promises; it’s time we call them out. Don’t let the rage bait fuel the fire and burn us all in the process.
Sonically, I was pretty consumed by Dandy Warhols and Viagra Boys during the writing of this album so I feel like that’s seeped its way into the subconscious of the song. The rumbling, desert, garage influence that almost feels like a tumbleweed of chaos blowing across the track in the guitars.”
“Beg:” “‘Beg’ is a track that represents a lot of the key motifs, themes and topics we explore across the album. Sonically, it’s a sum of all of the parts, new and old, that make up the sound of All That Is Over. Inspired originally by a line in a Vladimir Holan poem, “Beg” is written in part as a joke, a call and response to the question, “Is Karla Jesus?” that was written atop a moodboard when we were brainstorming ideas for a music video.
It’s tongue in cheek, it’s satirical, and it pokes fun at the idea that often it’s those in positions of power that preach their moral codes and judgments, while committing the most heinous crimes themselves. Meanwhile, the communities often under attack are just aiming to exist and to live. It’s an exploration of the self, sexuality, lust, ambition, but also my own shortcomings and the constant battle to be better.”
As previously announced, SPRINTS have shared EU & UK dates in support of their forthcoming All That Is Over this summer and fall, including a standout festival appearance at Glastonbury and opening performances with Bloc Party and Fontaines D.C.

On September 26th, Dublin band SPRINTS will release their sophomore record All That Is Overon Sub Pop for North America and City Slang for the rest of the world.
The groundwork that SPRINTS laid down with their 2024 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. An Irish Choice Music Prize nod from critical corners but also land themselves on BBC Radio One. 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.
Their new album, All That Is Over, is a remarkable second effort that pushes the band’s dynamics into richer territory, finding new space and nuance while also going harder than ever.
Today, the band has shared an official video, directed by Niamh Bryson, for their debut offering, “Descartes.” Inspired by a line in Rachel Cusk’s novel Outline - “Vanity is the curse of our culture” - it switches up the philosopher’s famous “I think therefore I am” into SPRINTS frontperson Karla Chubb’s own raison d’etre: “I speak so therefore I understand”. “A lot of the negativity you see in the world is rooted in vanity and the ego that your beliefs or identity are more important than somebody else’s,” she says. “‘Descartes’ explores the idea that writing for me is not just a tool to make music but a tool to process the world.” Clickhereto watch.

More on All That Is Over: All That Is Over is a remarkable record in itself - a second album that pushes the dynamics of the band into richer territory, finding new space and nuance but also going harder than ever. However there’s a potency born from the “baptism of fire” beginnings of their current line-up that infuses SPRINTS’ second with a whole new energy. “By the time we ended up working on new stuff, we’d played so many shows together that the natural chemistry me, Karla and Sam had built up over years, Zac had very quickly developed too,” Jack says.
Where many bands would find themselves burnt out and needing a break after such a hectic period of time, in the midst of the whirlwind, Karla found herself becoming more prolific than ever. “There was just so much happening and so much to process,” she explains. “I was going through a big break up with my partner who I’d been with for eight years; Colm had left the band; we’d really progressed into being professional musicians, and I was at the start of a new relationship. But then you’d look outside and it’s like the world has never been uglier. I was writing every day because there was so much going on.”
It’s into this landscape of duality and disparity, anger, ambition and a thousand feelings in between that ‘All That Is Over’ lays out its cards. Its title is taken from a lyric at the centre of ‘Beg’: an uncompromising slice of propulsive punk that seeks the cleansing of new beginnings. 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.

What people are saying about SPRINTS: “This memorable and arrestingly bleak debut LP feels like a loud announcement of a striking new band (…) If you ever suspected this current wave of Irish guitar music had peaked with the likes of Fontaines D.C. and The Murder Capital, think again.” ★★★★★ NME
Letter to Self is a bracing, frantic record designed for both thrashing mosh pits and solo meltdowns, best heard with the volume turned up loud.“ Pitchfork
“One of the most exciting young rock bands in the world… one that could hold their own alongside some of their most fiercely beloved inspirations. Run, don’t walk, to hear them as soon as you can.” “Album of the Week,” Stereogum
“Savage art-punk from Dublin four-piece… Sprints’ debut delivers on thrilling live shows, with singer, guitarist and songwriter Karla Chubb providing a visceral fury.” 8/10, Uncut
“Confrontational, ferocious and bold… an unaffected and exhilarating debut album.” “Album of the Week” - 8/10, Loud & Quiet
“Musical exorcism at its very best, rallying against socially-imposed doubt and anxiety and – in its unique horror – finding welcome moments of inner peace.” ★★★★★ DIY
“Colossally exciting.” ★★★★ MOJO
“A red-hot debut album… Is it possible to have an album of the year contender on only the first week in? Of course it is.” 9/10, CLASH
