Sprints share urgent new single ‘Feast’

Following what’s been a whirlwind year of non-stop touring and festival sets, Dublin rockers Sprints have now unveiled their latest offering, ‘Feast’ - a primal, pummeling distillation of religious motifs and queer desire. 

The single is their first to feature new guitarist Zac Stephenson, after founding member Colm O’Reilly left the band amicably earlier this year. It also acts as a follow up to their blistering debut album ‘Letter To Self’, which arrived back in January to cement Sprints as a fearsome force to be reckoned with. 

Speaking about the new cut, the band have commented: “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.”
