Sprints drop “dark, gothic and sensual” new single, Feast
Watch the video for Sprints’ new single Feast, which arrives ahead of a busy run of shows for the Irish garage punks.
They’re eyeing up a big headline tour this winter, but that hasn’t stopped Sprints from finding the time to write and release new music!
Following brilliant debut album Letter To Self earlier this year, the band – now featuring guitarist Zac Stephenson in place of departed founding member Colm O’Reilly – have shared a killer new single entitled Feast.
In a joint statement, they say of the track: “Pulling from our love of grunge and gothic, Feast is named as such because it explores the idea of gluttony, consumption and desire, particularly when it comes to sexuality and romance.
“In Ireland a lot of our first conscious experience of storytelling happens to be religious, due in most parts to the interlinking of our Catholic Church and state, particularly in education. The Bible stories and fables of good, bad, morality and sin were always pressed upon us.
“I thought it was interesting to use this iconography and imagery reimagined in a queer context. Feast is dark, gothic and sensual, encouraging us to. unapologetically pursue our wants and desires.”
