Welcome to episode 224 with Karla Chubb, who is a singer, guitarist and songwriter in Sprints.

Sprints formed in Dublin in 2019 and quickly became known for their explosive, cathartic, and incredibly powerful live performances. After a series of EP’s, they released their debut album in 2024 to great critical acclaim. The follow up ‘All That is Over’ is out this month.

In this episode I’m joined by Karla to chat about the origins of Sprints, their relentless touring schedule and life on the road in general.

We chat about her experiences with depression when she started college, how resisting her sexual identity exacerbated her mental state and how she has come up against her mental health through the years since then.

And we chat about dealing with internalised battles, finding the vocabulary to talk about and understand mental health, creativity as an outlet and balancing energy levels as an introvert while being the front person of a rock band.

The first Sprints album was one of my favourite records of last year and I am very excited to hear the new one so it was wonderful to chat to Karla about all of it!

For all things Sprints, the new record and upcoming tour dates head to www.sprintsmusic.com and follow @sprintsmusic
