Sprints are an Irish garage punk band, formed in Dublin in 2019. The band currently consists of Karla Chubb (vocals, guitar), Sam McCann (bass, vocals), Jack Callan (drums) and Zac Stephenson (guitar).
Between 2019 and 2022, the band recorded and released a series of singles and EPs for the Nice Swan label, before signing to City Slang. Their debut album, Letter to Self, was released in January 2024 to widespread critical acclaim. Following the album's release, founding guitarist Colm O’Reilly departed from the band in May 2024, citing "a desire to retreat from public performance."
Following O’Reilly's departure, the band were initially joined by a succession of guest guitarists during their summer 2024 tour, before Zac Stephenson permanently joined the band's line-up. The newly solidified four-piece recorded and released, "Feast", a stand-alone single exploring "gluttony, consumption and desire."
