LOL Who?

Well anyway, Irish youtube shouter Jack Septic Eye made 18 million dollars last year so I hope they're not in it for the money.

Artistically yeah, but if you were 18 right now you'd probably have heard of Hozier but not The Blades

I still don't see much wrong with that quote. Who were the last successful Irish band who sang in Irish accents that might excite your average 20 year old? It seems these guys didn't have to do a degree in music history wiki-ing to make some good tunes. I remember The Number 1's had a huge...

It doesn't have to, I don't think (although I may be wrong) that anyone lectured Imelda May about misrepresenting the Liberties with her rockabilly, but the Fontaines DC clearly want people to hear them and immediately know where they're from*. *Spain.

Would you say U2 (and their wannabes) sound "Irish" though?

This is who I was thinking of at the time LOL The Ultra Montanes

I really like it. So there.

Poor The Rags never got anywhere when they did it all a decade ago, albeit a big janglier. They're even quoting Joyce! (@ann post had a thread about it at the time)

Hurricane Laughter intro keeps threatening to break into Caught by the Fuzz But then doesn't : (

8.0 in Pitchfork 🙀

Actually looking at it again he says great bass performance rather than great bass line so I should shut up

I mean if this came out in 2003 they could have been our Strokes but teh kids are probably listening to Jafaris and Kneecap now. I fully support Fontaines. D.C. tho, good album, even if they're plastic dubs.

I think writing about how music actually sounds is no bad thing, probably better than writing about what you think the artists intent behind a song is. Also everyone loves a good bass line - LongView Love Cats Dancing in the Moonlight Gigantic Airbag

Njoyin' the album.

If these lads write anything as good as Parklife I won't be complaining.

WHAT???? Where are they from? I'm genuinely a bit taken aback by this.

yeah that's good!

Ah yeah, here we go The Fontaines they seem to have added "D.C." after their name since then

I feel like I need a list of bands they "rose from the ashes" of in order to situate them correctly
