Sprints – Up And Comer

Maile Carballo / KUTX

Each week during Left of the Dial, KUTX Music Director, Rick McNulty shares the best song he heard this week.


Sprints is a four-piece Garage Punk from Dublin, Ireland The band consists of Karla Chubb (Lead Singer and songwriter), Colm O’Reilly (Guitar), Jack Callan (Drums), and Sam McCann (Bass).

“This is the best riposte to a condescending music critic that I’ve heard in a long time. Karla Chubb dismisses the faint praise of ‘she’s good for an up and comer’ and pushes back with the mad talent that got her noticed in the first place. A perfectly landed punch to the face and #1 on my list of bands to see at SXSW ’24.”
