SpRINTS – ALL THAT IS OVER – ALBUM REVIEW
Whilst SPRINTS have been building solid foundations for a number of years now, their festival appearances this summer really seemed to ramp up the anticipation for their second studio album, ‘All That Is Over’, which arrives now with an intense explosion of post-punk grit.
Ominous opening duo ‘Abandon’ and ‘To The Bone’ build up that excitement perfectly to kickstart the record and the following nine tracks do everything necessary to deliver on the promise of the album.
Many of the songs have already met the world either as a pre-release single or in the live setting but hearing the collection all together is something special. There is a beautiful flow to the album and you can feel the passion poured into every note and every lyric.

SPRINTS have never been afraid to tackle the dark cloud of doom and injustice engulfing the world and they are again able to harness their intensity into stirring calls for action. There is also a degree of self-reflection from the band as they get used to their newfound platform.
Thematically and sonically, this is an album where the four-piece use their voice to cut through the noise of the world whilst making a hell of a racket themselves. Tracks like ‘Something’s Gonna Happen’ and ‘Pieces’ are top tier and the album as a whole is maybe the current torch bearer for album of the year!
Bringing the album to an epic conclusion is ‘Desire’, which again gradually builds to a thunderous crescendo. This acts as the perfect climax for what is a simply astonishing record from a band leading the charge for the latest wave of post-punk agitators.
