Irish punk band Sprints have shared their new single, "Trickle Down".
"Trickle Down" follows the band's cover of Le Tigre's "Deceptacon", which they shared in January, as well as a sold-out US tour — just ahead of a European leg kicking off in France on 10 March.
Discussing the track, the band share: "'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."
"Trickle Down" is out now via City Slang
