The Dublin garage-rockers are on a roll at the moment with new songs.
Last month, they released a cover of Le Tigre’s ‘Deceptacon’ to mark their US tour – which followed their 2025 and Choice Music Prize-nominated album All That Is Over.
‘Trickle Down’ is the new song (and not the first Irish artist song to reference it in recent years – looking at you Wobblin’ Jude), marking the European leg of the tour – rallying against the inequality and lack of opportunity for the young generation despite living in a first world country like Ireland – somehow things are getting worse, not better? The system is confusing and obfuscated but we can all see how it’s not working – sure the issues are manifold – and Sprints’ Karla Chubb suspects- that corporate and political greed are largely to blame. You may as well aspire to be Amyl and The Sniffers’ punk singer Amy Taylor.
“Trickle Down is about watching systems fail in slow motion, housing crisis, rising costs, culture wars, climate collapse, and being told to stay patient. It’s the frustration of a generation stuck in ‘wait mode’ while everything burns.”
Listen to the song:
The band play the Choice Music Prize this Thursday.
