There’s a lyric burnt into ‘Abandon’ - the slow, searing scorch of an opening track that begins SPRINTS’ gargantuan second album ‘All That Is Over’ - that cuts to the core of the incendiary Dublin quartet right now: “I don’t grow old / I grow unrecognisable”.

Not only does it kick the door down to a record that wrestles with the horrors outside and the strengths within, fighting for the necessity of art and hope and love amidst an incomprehensible world on fire, it also winks at Sprints' own thrilling trajectory. Having underlined their status as one of the UK and Ireland's most exciting breakthrough bands with their universally-acclaimed 2024 debut Letter to Self, vocalist and guitarist Karla Chubb, bassist Sam McCann, drummer Jack Callan and new guitarist Zac Stephenson return for their second act as an evolved entity: stronger, sharper and fully assured. "I think we came out of 2024 as quite literally different people and a completely different band to how we entered it," says Karla. "There was a lot of growing and a lot of work on myself, and in the background we did a lot of work as friends and on being there for each other as a band. Letter to Self was so riddled with self-consciousness and a need to prove myself in a very male-dominated industry that really held me back in a lot of ways. And now, on this album, I could not give less of a f***." The groundwork that Sprints laid down with their debut marked them out as a musical triple-threat in the alternative landscape: a visceral live band capable of selling out increasingly sizeable tours, earning five star reviews (NME, DIY and more) and an Irish Choice Music Prize nod, while landing themselves on BBC Radio One.

Tucson, AZ legends The Supersuckers’ classic third album - 1995’s The Sacrilicious Sounds of the Supersuckers - is back in print, and on limited colored vinyl! 

The Sacrilicious Sounds… is a furious, sneering blast of punk rock that perfectly encapsulates the band’s special fusion of hard rock, punk, and low-brow country culture. The Damned meets ZZ Top? The Motörhead of the Southwest? Something like that, sure, but ultimately The Supersuckers are their own thing, and on The Sacrilicious Sounds… - and especially on the single “Born With a Tail” - singer Eddie Spaghetti’s woeful country laments begin to poke more assertively through their raw punk aggro. About that aggro: this is the band's sole album with Rick Sims, of Illinois punk legends Didjits, on guitar, and Sims dutifully cranks up The Supersuckers’ already formidable wall of overdriven guitars. As an extra treat, Sims sings lead on the blistering “Run Like a Motherfucker.” 

The Sacrilicious Sounds… was produced by Paul Leary of Butthole Surfers.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
