Dublin-based punks Sprints are loud, fast, and harsh; it will not surprise anyone that Kathleen Hanna bears a strong influence on their sound. Hanna's first group Bikini Kill are modern legends and despite never scraping the Billboard charts while they actively put out records in the '90s, their tunes have shown up everywhere from Rock Band to the opening sequence of the great cringe comedy Pen15. But her next band, the more new wave and sampling-oriented Le Tigre, is getting up there.

"Deceptacon", the first song on their classic first album (also titled Le Tigre), swivels between pop culture references (that Transformers title, the quote from Barry Mann's "Who Put the Bomp" that famously opens the song) at a rapid, danceable pace with a blistering four-note riff.

Now, Sprints have released a new cover of it that cranks the song to even more distorted levels, while frontwoman Karla Chubb makes lines like "wanna see me disco?" sound like a sneering threat. Here's her description of the cover on Bandcamp, and you can listen to both Sprints' version and the original below:

"I’m not sure there’s a womxn in the world who plays guitar that hasn’t been inspired by Kathleen Hanna. ‘Deceptacon’ is a dance-punk classic, a constant in the tour van, and a cover we used to throw into festival sets for fun. What better way to mark our return to the States and honour our love of US punk than to release our little rendition of 'Deceptacon.'"
