Sprints return with new single ‘Adore Adore Adore’
The Dublin band will be supporting Suede later in the year.
Sprints are back with their new single ‘Adore Adore Adore’. The track is available now on City Slang Records.
Speaking about the single, lead vocalist Karla Chubb has said: “There is still a different standard of behaviour expected from me vs even the other members in Sprints. There is a different set of invisible rules I am supposed to abide by I am supposed to fit their mould and give them what they want and not deliver what it is I am here to do. So at a time when trans rights are under attack, people are trying to force upon us what they think a woman is or should be, this is the outward expression of my own frustration, struggle and rage.”
The Dublin four-piece formed while at a Savages gig in 2019. Catch them live at the following dates:

Sprints: Forged Through Fire
For over 18 months now, Sprints have barely paused for breath. The success of their 2024 debut album saw them play stages from Brooklyn to Berlin but, closer to home, the ground was shifting beneath them. As a series of seismic changes shook their very foundations, they had no option but to rebuild — themselves, and the band — in a new, stronger image.
