Fontaines D.C.

Ireland’s most electrifying band in decades find inspiration in life away from their homeland on their third album in four years.

Fontaines DC guitarists Conor Curley and Carlos O’Connell tell us about the old gear and new attitudes that informed new album Skinty Fia.

The record will arrive in April.

They're yet to decide if it'll be recorded before touring can happen again, however.

The band are the seventh Irish artist to ever be Grammy-nominated.

It’s been a dizzying three years for Fontaines DC, who released their second album A Hero’s Death at the end of July. The Irish band tell us about their love of 60s Fenders, selling out Brixton Academy and how they want to write a “weird as fuck” new album full of bangers.

The boys in the better land take an axe to their own image on a murky, brooding second album that establishes a new path for the Dublin five-piece.

The song takes inspiration from The Prodigy, as well as the Brian Jonestown Massacre.

In support of their upcoming record A Hero’s Death.
