I remember when this was released and I heard the first sentence (" I was towelled up...") I was sold immediately. This band is pure fucking class. Post-Punk and poetry.
Having first heard "Televised Mind" live version! I instantly felt that sound I recall from my youth! I'm 52 now! Best thing I've heard for a long time ! Love it 😆
Just seen these guys in Bath! Stage presence amazing. Born in 90s so never seen Joy Division but the lead singer had such a Ian Curtis vibe. Mosh pits were crazy!
Absolutely brilliant, big pixies influence with a hint of punk,well impressed, watch out for these lads, they're going all the way.Anyone who appreciates excellent music watch this space...
There are so many reference points, I mean there is The Fall, Joy Division, Killing Joke, Oasis, I can even hear a whiff of Kasabian but they are far more than the sum of their parts. Love em
One of my favourite ever songs ! It's amazing! Gives me butterflies every time I hear it . Love it in the car absolutely blasting. You guys are absolutely fantastic! I need to go to one of your gigs!
When he goes on a loop with "And there is no connection available" he reminds me of David Byrne and Talking Heads, he used to repeat lyrics over and over in some songs. Freaking brilliant!
Oh damn!this song brings addiction!it sounds phenomenal!that bass and guitars ...my mind blows away!rock on guys!wow! Great great job! Greetings from Italy
Don't know what I was doing but I heard these guys music about a year ago and have been listening to them since. Keep up the good music and can't wait for this covid shit to end so I can rage at their concerts.
One of the best ... for the moment. Even kind to my 11 yr old son who was allowed backstage to hang w the band for a bit, before the San Diego show.... opened his eyes to his potential as a future drummer.
To my delight i have came across FDC in the last few months. Most music i listen to nowadays i get sick of it after a while... but with these lads the more i listen to them the more i like them .. they are fucking brilliant .. cant believe i missed them in brixton and kentish town
Hated this on first listen, adore it now. I'm guessing the DP underexposed this at points on purpose, as the one shot takes are breathtaking. Gamechangers.
My favourite band among a few... after a lot of years wondering if a band like this could even (still) exist in the current climate. The answer was obvious the minute I found out about these fellas. I am reinvigoured, or something. I can't even spell it, that's how long it's been!
You guys are fucking brilliant. I waited and waited and you came - Thank GOD for that. I don't wanna put too much pressure on you and IDLES but - phew!
@@BonoMeArse this is the first time I've seen someone make a comparison to a band other than Joy Division or The Fall. Nice to see there are some people listening to this band who aren't just NME drones.
Lots of things going for it. Heard on 6Music whilst working but had to look further into it as they kept repeating Hurricane Laughter like a Mark E Smith rant with catchy whiney guitars accompanying. Top tune, classy video
Looking forward to seeing them live later on this year in Los Angeles. Adding them to my growing collection of photography of musicians and bands that know how to fucken shake up a scene.
Very heavy rocking metal bands move over and let the boys from a band called Fontaines D.C thought, they have got a swagger, a freshness and a brilliance about them that can not be matched by any other current band at this time, they are not, they are only, they could be the Doors, the Stooges, the MC5, they could, be but they are not , they are their own men and they are flipping great, I am a man of a very big age but those boys they get me up and dancing, my doctor tells me tells me that I am in very great shape for my years and joked by saying I bet that you are listening to Thin Lizzy & Rory Gallagher, I told him that I am also listening to this band.
@@charliegotosleep Many thanks for your reply, I only explained what I hear with my own ears, including the FalI could easily name 6 other brilliant bands that I can also hear in their music the first time I Hear and new track, after a few plays that disappears, I love the James Joyce feel that they naturally this band have, Take care
One of the best bands to come out of Ireland in ages! Brilliant music period.
..since the Dubliners.....
Girl Band and The Murder Capital are also incredible Irish bands right now
Since Therapy?
One of the best bands to come out of Ireland.
This song sounds a bit like The Fall
I remember when this was released and I heard the first sentence (" I was towelled up...") I was sold immediately. This band is pure fucking class. Post-Punk and poetry.
If you like poetic post punk ik im late to reply but check out protomartyr
Having first heard "Televised Mind" live version! I instantly felt that sound I recall from my youth! I'm 52 now! Best thing I've heard for a long time ! Love it 😆
Just when I thought of giving up of any hope of a music revival... Enter our salvation..... Breath of fresh air, lads
Check out viagra boys. Down in the basement , just like you, shrimp shack. Are my favorites. Give them a listen.
The Idles, Turnstile
Here in rural Pennsylvania, nothing like this on the radio, I can’t get enough of these guys. Love the accents. Kick ass song.
Just seen these guys in Bath! Stage presence amazing. Born in 90s so never seen Joy Division but the lead singer had such a Ian Curtis vibe. Mosh pits were crazy!
I actually could not cope without these poets in my life .Fact
Right there with ya
These lads may be saving the Irish music scene from the vanilla radio friendly likes of coronas/walk on cars / riptide samie same music
Agreed.
Yip
jdkit You are not alone my friend
👏👏👏👏👏
Couldn't have said it better.
Finally there's yet hope for Rock n Roll This band keeps the tradition alive !🍻
Absolutely brilliant, big pixies influence with a hint of punk,well impressed, watch out for these lads, they're going all the way.Anyone who appreciates excellent music watch this space...
The Bass in this is fucking incredible.
I'm an old man now but some years back I shared an office with John Peel. He'd have loved this.
It’s odd the production is weird it makes my rib cage hurt
John is Peeled and you're an old man😉
Wow 62 y/o here love the sound !
These Darkland versions are GREAT 👍
Agreed. This is a lot better than the album version
every single of theirs does not get old at all, favourite band of all time and always will be
The repetitiveness is intoxicatingly sublime.
john peel would love these
I can confirm the John Peel stage loved them
So true
He would have played it twice!
Heartwarming stuff x
yessssss rip
Brilliant voice and presence. Going to the very top.
There are so many reference points, I mean there is The Fall, Joy Division, Killing Joke, Oasis, I can even hear a whiff of Kasabian but they are far more than the sum of their parts. Love em
Early Nick Cave vibes. Deadly
You're right. Don't laugh...but there's a G'n'R/ Duff McKagen sound in this song for sure. Anyways, these fellas are tight.
Does it matter, there is a whiff of talent - fair play to them and bollocks to the semantics
Also fellow Irish band from the 90’s, Whipping Boy.
When I first heard this track I immediately Thought 'The Fall'
This band is straight filthy! Heavy hands and lyrics and voice control like I’ve never heard before. Can’t wait for Ohana. Keep delivering
One of my favourite ever songs ! It's amazing! Gives me butterflies every time I hear it . Love it in the car absolutely blasting. You guys are absolutely fantastic! I need to go to one of your gigs!
Best driving song ever
When he goes on a loop with "And there is no connection available" he reminds me of David Byrne and Talking Heads, he used to repeat lyrics over and over in some songs.
Freaking brilliant!
These guys are the best. Every song blows me away every time.
So much like The Fall, which isn't a bad thing, brilliant!
...and this song is brilliant...brilliant....brilliant....brilliant...🎶🎶🎶
I am rarely stood up, backed up, alert, immediately attached to new music heard than when hearing this, and the whole album.
Oh damn!this song brings addiction!it sounds phenomenal!that bass and guitars
...my mind blows away!rock on guys!wow! Great great job! Greetings from Italy
que sensacional o som de vocês!! a tempos estava procurando por uma banda assim. Parabéns!
My god its so intense!!!! His smouldering gaze and the heavy bass... It hits you in the pit of your stomach
Don't know what I was doing but I heard these guys music about a year ago and have been listening to them since. Keep up the good music and can't wait for this covid shit to end so I can rage at their concerts.

great tribute to the Fall !
I love their grittiness! I love ‘em!

To my delight i have came across FDC in the last few months. Most music i listen to nowadays i get sick of it after a while... but with these lads the more i listen to them the more i like them .. they are fucking brilliant .. cant believe i missed them in brixton and kentish town
Same!

Going to see them in Ali Pali this month ..first FDC live gig
@@PrecisionEst enjoy !
This is incredible
Rob Harper it really is isn’t it,! What a rip roarer!
Can’t say it any clearer
It's immense
Hated this on first listen, adore it now. I'm guessing the DP underexposed this at points on purpose, as the one shot takes are breathtaking. Gamechangers.
Amazing band not afraid to wear its influences.
They clearly own the same record collection as I do.
And that record collection was my youth ...
Which records would that be?
Beautiful introduction
Thanks for the tunes Fontaines DC.
Awesome music - brilliant live show lads - keep it up!
My favourite band among a few... after a lot of years wondering if a band like this could even (still) exist in the current climate. The answer was obvious the minute I found out about these fellas. I am reinvigoured, or something. I can't even spell it, that's how long it's been!
Loving the new songs But this is still one of my faves.
You guys are fucking brilliant. I waited and waited and you came - Thank GOD for that.
I don't wanna put too much pressure on you and IDLES but - phew!
Amazing video for this. Song very cool also
Oh man I just stumbled across this band absolutely brilliant propper music I take it these guys are Irish how long have these guys been around ?
They have a new album out later this month I think? New stuff includes songs A heroes death and Televised Mind. Both bangers!
This is just brilliant! Great guitar sound. Be great if they would print the lyrics.......
Best new band I've heard in the last ten years.
Absolute Love where these lads are going sonically, makes me feel 40 years, Yea Hurricane Ha ha ha he he he
Great band!!
excellent drogel one of the best in all history
Wow! That is a great intro.
I was drinking an unpopular swiss beer when I remembered that it's always the first record of a band that makes us love them
Great song, relentless 😀
I could listen to that voice all day long. Which is what I've been doing since I discovered them a few months ago. Absolute 🇮🇪🔥
loving the freshest sound to heat me in a while, with clear echos. Thanks boys
This album kicks so much ass I’m so happy I found it

This is just so f_k'n cool I can barely stand it. How am I 3 years late to this party? Happy to have arrived. Thanks YT.
Class outfit. Ahoy from CPT, South Africa.
I hear a fair bit of Killing Joke's "Wardance" in it - no bad thing!
And It makes me think of ...ruclips.net/video/izd_V8-AMhk/видео.html
I'm hear so many bands in there..Spear of Destiny..for another

Name a single "heavy rocking metal band" please
@@urmumsbaps hI only 1, there have been many thousands over the years, keep well.
I love Fontaines, but dont paint them to be some unprecedented new sound... as I mentioned in my other comment they are *very* derivative of the Fall.

These guy's "Rock" Oasis was loved by many, but this band is alot more talented.
These guys sound like The Fall, and thats not a bad thing.
Agree
💚 i love your voice
Great Song Great Video
Best video so far!
Meraviglioso
music for the soul
And the Video: very good.
Loving these boys - see you in Newcastle...tear it up
You will love them live they were brilliant
They were brilliant live ! I want them back to toon ;)
The end was well worth waiting for.
