"I don’t have to know everything to be able to tell you that something’s shit... You don’t have to be Usain Bolt to run a race, and you don’t have to understand the theory of everything to understand that, morally, someone’s an asshole." So says Sprints' Karla Chubb, whose brilliantly incisive lyrics deal with sexuality, mental health, politics and the myriad irritations of life in modern Ireland. Now signed to City Slang, the band's debut album is expected this year, but in the meantime, singles The Cheek, Manifesto, How Does The Story Go?, Modern Job, Little Fix and Literary Mind offer a brilliant introduction to the Dublin quartet's sound.
