Fontaines D.C.

Marrying a seeker’s mind with a minstrel’s spirit, Ireland’s Fontaines D.C. have emerged head and shoulders above a generation of plucky post-punk upstarts to become one of the finest emerging bands around. Their latest album ‘A Hero’s Death’ was a confident next step in their continued transcendence, augmenting their wiry, noise-laden sonics with flourishes of West Coast pop and picturesque balladry.
