The highly anticipated debut album by SPRINTS, Letter to Self, is out now. What an explosive release that starts the year under the best auspices for the band. Review.
LETTER TO SELF – SPRINTS
With powerful vocals, storming guitar riffs, deep bass lines, and hyperactive drums… it’s everything I love and was expecting from the band. Letter to Self doesn’t disappoint. From its wary Ticking to the confident Letter to Self, the Irish garage punk band is already writing its legend.
Heavy is a crazy place to let off steam, shaking every cell of my being, and Cathedral is its perfect follow-up through a raging punk mass. If the Dublin-based quartet know how to make redoubtable, and commanding tunes, they are also able to turn towards melancholy with tracks like Shaking Their Hands. It’s also a great part of the epic Shadow of a Doubt. But, it is Adore Adore Adore that becomes my immediate favourite, with its determination and threatening tone.
The rolling thunder of the guitars of Can’t Get Enough of It is deeply addictive, in perfect response to the lyrics. From a nightmare vision they are summoning, there is also an unmatched combative spirit awakening. And how can I not get lost in the spiralling Literary Mind or in the aftermath of A Wreck (A Mess)? It’s simply impossible. Another favourite comes in as the progressive and explosive Up and Comer.
Introspective, cathartic and sharp, SPRINTS couldn’t start the year better with Letter to Self. You can’t miss it.
