    I’m 60 have both their records, and saw them in Boston September 2019 and I’m a yank. Great band.

      @@TheThamesmen as someone else mentioned The Murder Capital , who are another band from Dublin as well as Shame who just released their second album “Drunk Tank Pink” in January. That album has been on repeat. They both fall into the post punk genre similar to Fontaines D.C.

    Great track Alex! It's always joy to discover a new band and I'm already looking up these guys. The only thing better than listening to you two discuss bands I love, is to have something new come out of it. Cheers!

    Everything about this track is amazing! They must be incredible live. Good choice, Alex. I do have to take exception to something you said-that people “our age” stopped listening to new music in the 80’s-speak for yourself, old man! 😉 I have a suggestion for you: add viewers choice to the Wheel of For-Tune but the songs must be under 10 years old. I think it would be good for both you and the viewers

    This song makes me miss the days when all pubs closed at 11 and everyone was bundling out onto the street, trying to decide which dingy club to head to :)

      The UK.... Start driving when you are 17 and it takes a year to learn. Pass your test at 18, bang on for drinking. Then throw everyone who is pissed all out on the street at the exact same moment... The watch Andy Nelson have a fight at the war Memorial!! They were the days...

    I just saw you guys on Into the Music's channel. I've been following them for a few weeks and had made a few Ko-fi requests. I'm a 60 year old New Yorker, but heavily into British rock, old and new. Anyway, I have Fontaines DC's Boys in the Better in as a request for them. I hope they love it too. Their 2 album, A Hero's Death is a MUST. Oh, and you now have another subscriber...

    not really my cup of tea, i'm afraid, but it's good to see a lead guitarist playing a Danelectro. they're really cheap, and not usually considered good enough for REAL guitarists to take seriously. however, they're really good guitars. they just use inexpensive materials and are made in S.E.Asia [like most of them, these days] with all the Gibsons and Fenders, etc., etc., it's great to see a guy with such a solid ego, who doesn't need to impress with a high priced instrument

      Well spotted and a good point. Will be interesting to see as they grow if he ends up with a high priced Fender or Gibson!
