Sprints – "Up and Comer" (Weekly Music Roundup)

Sprints is an up and coming punk band from Dublin. They quickly established a reputation on the basis of their explosive live shows and a couple of well-received EPs. Now they’ve released their debut LP, called Letter To Self, and it offers a wall of roaring guitars but also some of singer Karla Chubb’s thoughtful, sometimes introspective, and occasionally deadpan lyrics. Up And Comer by Irish band Sprints is part of our Weekly Music Roundup.
