lad from the Smiths loves them. The Brits are lapping them up. I suppose that makes them the 'Mrs Browns Boys' of music.
This is a fairly decent approximation of the Whipping Boy sound but his vocal delivery is bizarre. It's like he's doing a comedy impression of a Dublin accent in parts of it. I know I've joked about him/them before but it really jars how awkward it sounds, "the lights they gaw ekauw, ekauwwwww!" In fact, his vocals remind me of some Irish trad or Irish trad punk bands from other countries where the lead singer approximates an Irish accent.
A friend of mine is a buyer for a major French media chain and has some of the most respectable music taste of anyone I know. Serious record collection, he used to work for some cool labels, etc. He cannot believe that I would hate these guys because as far as the rest of the world is concerned, they are authentically representing the real Dublin and are a breath of fresh air amidst all the phoniness out there.the vocals sound like a pisstake whatever he's trying to do.
the nursery rhyme parts are really silly. he needs electrocution lessons. and people take this seriously?
I think I've said it before on here that their representation of Dublin is pretty valid to me as it's a representation that no one who is actually from Dublin could do. It's kind of cool to me that they found the romance.actually I'll bring up a wider point. Fontaines DC are no more representative of Dublin than the two Johnnies (Tipperary comedy song/radio presenter duo with lots of novelty songs about hurling) are of me.
the idea that someone is only a product of where they live or grew up is bullshit.
if someone is just being a cliche then they'd probably be a sucker where ever they came from.
there has been thousands of crap bands from Dublin but that's no sllght on all the good ones.
Fontaines De CureWhen did they start trying to sound like The Cure?
