Our Take

Fontaines D.C. return with their sophomore album, A Hero's Death, and it's safe to say they've hit the mark once again. This Dublin-based band brings an infectious energy to every track, with lyrics that are as sharp as a Guinness pint glass.

The opening track, "I Don't Belong," sets the tone perfectly, with its driving guitar riffs and lead singer Grian Chatten's distinctive vocals. It's a rebellious anthem that will have you longing for a sweaty gig in a dingy venue.

Throughout the album, Fontaines D.C. explore themes of self-discovery, personal struggles, and the pitfalls of fame. Tracks like "Televised Mind" and "Living in America" showcase the band's ability to tackle serious subjects with a dose of wit and playful irreverence.

One of the standout tracks is "A Lucid Dream," a haunting ballad that showcases Chatten's raw emotion and vulnerability. It's a stark contrast to the high-energy punk anthems that dominate the rest of the album, but it's a welcome respite that shows the band's versatility.

Overall, A Hero's Death is a bold and ambitious album that solidifies Fontaines D.C.'s place as one of the most exciting bands in the UK music scene right now. It's a record that will make you want to dance, cry, and everything in between. Grab your pint and turn up the volume – this is an album you won't want to miss. Cheers to Fontaines D.C. for another absolute belter.

About the artist

Fontaines D.C.

FONTAINES D.C. burst onto the music scene like a breath of fresh air, with their raw, energetic punk sound and no-nonsense attitude. Hailing from Dublin, these lads have quickly become one of the most exciting bands to come out of Ireland in recent years. Their debut album, "Dogrel," is a blistering mix of poetry and punk, with frontman Grian Chatten's distinctive accent adding a unique edge to their sound. Tracks like "Boys in the Better Land" and "Big" are anthems in the making, with their driving guitars and punchy lyrics guaranteed to get the crowd going at any live show. But it's not just their music that sets FONTAINES D.C. apart - it's their attitude. These boys aren't afraid to speak their minds or call out any injustice they see, making them a refreshing change from the cookie-cutter pop stars that dominate the charts. With their infectious energy and undeniable talent, FONTAINES D.C. are definitely a band to keep an eye on. And who knows, maybe one day they'll be headlining Glastonbury or selling out arenas around the world. But for now, we'll just have to settle for blasting "Dogrel" on repeat and hoping they announce a tour soon.
