Fontaines D.C have been a band on the rise for 5 years now, from the edgy, spiky post punk debut Dogrel, in 2019, the prolific Dublin band are now on album number 4. Romance is the band’s finest work to date- matching singer Grian Chatten’s poetic lyrical ability with an album crammed with intelligent, engaging songs that grip you from the get-go and take you on an emotional journey right throughout. This isn’t just one of the albums of 2024, it’s one of the best albums of the past decade and it cements Fontaines place as one of the best, most exciting bands currently plying their trade right now. From start to end, Fontaines have written an album that should & most definitely could take its place alongside the greats.
