SPRINTS share new single 'Feast'

SPRINTS have released their first single with their new guitarist Zac Stephenson after the amicable departure of Colm O'Reilly who was a founding member of the band.

Produced by Dan Fox, 'Feast' is inspired by gothic fiction and poetry, using a beating riff and accompanying drums that are complimented by Chub's bold, edgy vocals.

The music video for the track features a juxtaposition of queer expression and religious imagery.

Speaking on 'Feast', the band says that it, "explores the idea of gluttony, consumption and desire, particularly when it comes to sexuality and romance."

The band also explains that the release is also inspired by the connection between Catholicism and the Irish state, "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."

In the midst of their new release the band are on a sold out tour in the US, which includes a dates at Chicago's Riot Fest.

These performances are followed by a UK and Europe leg with a date at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town in November.
