SPRINTS are set to release Letter To Self tomorrow via City Slang Records. Formed in 2019, Sprints play abrasive punk rock, influenced by the likes of early Pixies, Bahaus, Siouxsie Sioux, King Gizzard, Savages and LCD Soundsystem. Their 2021 EP, Manifesto, and 2022 EP, A Modern Job, saw the U.S. and UK music press becoming enthralled with the band.

Singer, guitarist and lead song-writer Karla Chubb says their debut record “is a deeply personally and autobiographical album lyrically and in its key themes, while sonically it explores a space inspired by our love of early 80s gothic, 90s noise rock and more modern influences. It revisits our most vulnerable moments and imbues them with visceral garage-punk. It aims to take the things that are considered inherently negative – feelings of anxiety, anger and rage, and turning them into a positive. Using our experiences to fuel us and pouring them into a positive outlet. It’s cathartic, it’s honest, it’s raw.”
