Sprints are a four-piece from Dublin who you should get to know. They have just released their new single “Drones” taken from their debut EP due out next month via Nice Swan Records.
“Drones” showcases the band’s ability to craft a moody post-punk rocker that feels like a contained explosion that is just ready to unleash, sort of in the way that fellow Irish rockers Girl Band also operate.
Speaking of the eruptive track Karla Chubb, lead singer and songwriter had this to say about it:
“Drones is very literally about my struggles with imposter syndrome. I think being a female in music, I struggle a lot with feeling like I have something to prove. It’s not okay for me to just be good, I have to be great. I have to prove constantly why I am deserving to be on the stage, or holding that guitar or that microphone. That pressure can be very difficult to deal with, and I think a lot of the times you doubt yourself then, am I actually able to write? Or is this all shit? Drones is about my experiences with dealing with this pressure, but realising that a lot of people have these struggles. The bars fill, the car parks fill, life seems to go on and on, and we can become so focused internally on our issues that you don’t realise that maybe while I was wishing I was someone else, they’re also wishing the same thing.”
