Irish punks Fontaines DC - the sound of Dublin

"This is music that sounds like Dublin feels. Chatten’s heavily accented vocals play a part; there are references to specific areas, pubs and landmarks, plus a cast of characters who populate the songs. But there is something more than just portraits. The rough production and rickety rhythms conjure familiar Dublin moods: bustling markets, rain-streaked cobblestones and the rumbling of cold early-morning commerce" - Guardian presents new Dublin band Fontaines DC, their debut album 'Dogrel' coming out this week. Listen to their new song 'Too Real' here, or their full performance on KEXP here.
