The band also today share new single Modern Job - the latest taste from the impossibly buzzy Dublin-based quartet. Lyrically, Modern Job finds singer Karla Chubb at her sardonic and angry best, detailing her own personal wish-list \"I wish I had the guts\/I wish I had the gall\/ I wish I had a girl\" - all set to cascading guitars and a formidable rhythm section; working in unison to create unrelenting tension, all the while echoing the subject matter Chubb explores in her lyrics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e On the new single, singer Karla Chubb offers the following:\u003cbr\u003e \"Modern Job is a critique of modern existence but also an exploration of growing up queer. In your formative years, you are bombarded with media, books, news that depict what a “normal” life should be. Grow up, fall in love, get married… long live the nuclear family.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e By contrast when you grow up queer all these ordinary things can seem extraordinary, out of reach and in some parts of the world, illegal. It leaves you feeling lost, excluded and confused. I wanted Modern Job to capture those feelings; chaotic energy, loneliness and longing of normality while trying to find acceptance within yourself.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sprints have received support from the likes The Guardian, Clash, NME, DIY, Dork as well as love at Radio 1 and Radio 6Music. Recent single How Does The Story Go? (also on the EP) was premiered by Steve Lamacq who praised it as “their best song yet! These guys are going to be something,\" The single was included in Spotify UK's New Music Friday as well as leading in playlists from NME, Loud \u0026amp; Quiet and others.\u003cbr\u003e Sprints combine guitar-driven hooks, motoric rhythm and emotive lyricism to create a unique sound that pulls from garage, grunge, punk and beyond. Like the Irish guitar acts who have paved the way for them: Fontaines D.C., Silverbacks and Girl Band, the sound of Sprints is urgent and vital at every turn.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sprints have hit a nerve.
