Those lads just put on a fantastic showAh fair enough.
For what it's worth I think they're excellent. Holding Hands with Jamie is a brilliant album and the new one sounds great on first couple of listens. I'm going to see them in November myself. Haven't seen them in years. Really looking forward to it.

Just great stuff, fantastic energy
And the singer is sound and grew up down the road from me (so extra sound)
Good thread!!
Went to see them on Friday, thought it was very good.
met some people on Saturday night who been to see them.
so i listened to 'em yesterday.
guess what ? they are good !
didn't know they are from Dublin either,
reminds me the first JAMC single or MEMBRANES or EX and that era.
but that's not even accurate they have their own sound.
the guitarist's tone is a big part of it.
nice surprise that a decent band is popular.
I think I read an article today where someone was still fighting the punk wars of the late 70s so don't expect this to be sorted out anytime soon.I never listened to them but I will soon. I've heard they're great. A lot of people seem to have similar anger they do as towards the Fontaines in that they're doing a lot of what many punk, underground or female-majority bands are doing, but lacking the same attention and let's face is huge hero-worshipping. Thoughts?

I sort of know what you mean with your first point. On no-one else sounding like them, not sure I agree with that. Health, Liars, Crystal Castles all do to varying degrees. We don't do that type of music well or often in these parts (Ireland nor even the UK ) so in that regard they're pretty singular. Haven't gotten into their records so much (although I haven't checked out the latest) but they're really good live it has to be said.I'm not sure if this is going to make total sense but Girl Band ACTUALLY sound like I'd expect Fontaines DC to sound based on the reviews that I've read of them. Girl Band don't really sound like anyone else, there's elements of Sonic Youth in there that I can see but that's it. Their shows are a lot of fun and I think their music's exciting. Sure give the new album a listen and see what you think.

Liars WERE fucking deadly you creep!
