Sprints

Well, this is definitely one to pay serious attention to!! There’s a palpable flurry of momentum surrounding the Dublin band’s second album, as their 2024 debut established the quartet as an essential new name in contemporary rock.

Now they’ve turned their urgent and relentless energy into new material, releasing themselves from the shackles of insecurity, and confidently stepping into their best work yet. It’s loud, emotive, boisterous and a lot of fucking fun (as lead single, “Descartes”, clearly demonstrates)…but there are also atmospheric interludes, which provide respite and serve to amplify the intensity when the noise kicks back in (best exemplified in standout track, ‘To The Bone’). 

SPRINTS about the new album: “While the world is literally burning down around us there are voices that seem hell bent on pointing the finger at anyone but those responsible. There’s no need to dream-up dystopia, we’re living in it. And somehow, while the world has never seemed uglier, our life has never been more beautiful. We have clawed ourselves out of the depths of imposter syndrome, anxiety and struggle to come together, stronger than ever, in the pursuit of that which we love most, music.

'All That Is Over' feels like a second chance at a first album. Gone are the shackles of insecurity, and we have confidently stepped into what we feel is our best work yet. Its loud, emotive, boisterous and a lot of fucking fun. This is an album about love, lust, art and passion. It is a rejection of the narratives they will try to spin to force those already marginalised to suffer more. It is the repelling of criticism, critique and the combat of the modern world. This is renaissance and rebellion because within the disillusionment with the world, the fatigue, there is still hope. There is still love, music and art and a chance to start again and that’s where you’ll find us. In between hope and a hard place. Welcome to our cowboy gothic.”
