Fontaines D.C.

Musical Group

Fontaines D.C. are an Irish post‑punk band from Dublin, formed in 2014. Notable albums mentioned in the reviews include Dogrel (2019), A Hero's Death (2020), Skinty Fia (2022) and Romance (2024). Frontman Grian Chatten is frequently referenced for his vocal delivery and lyrics.

Reviews emphasise a strong sense of Irish identity and territory in lyrics, recurring political and social themes, Grian Chatten's distinctive baritone/monotone vocal style, a post‑punk sonic core, occasional use of choirs and accordion, and mixed critical reception across different albums (Skinty Fia widely praised; earlier records polarising; Romance noted as more pop‑oriented).

DeBaser reviews repeatedly praise Fontaines D.C.'s strong sense of Irish identity and post‑punk roots. Skinty Fia is widely acclaimed; Romance is noted as more pop‑oriented; earlier records polarise critics. Grian Chatten's distinctive baritone and lyrical focus on place and politics are constant touchpoints.

For:Listeners of post-punk, indie/alternative rock, and readers interested in lyrically driven, place‑focused music.

 Skinty Fia by Fontaines D.C. is one of the finest albums of 2022, I say it right away to get it off my chest, no second thoughts.

 This Post-Pub music is sexual and sensual, it is harsh and dirty, venereal.

 Not even Bruce Springsteen in his redneck phase was more boring than Fontaines D.C. in their student council representative phase.

 This masterpiece of darkness and Ireland is absolutely the best album ever written about the inability to communicate with women, a trait that unites this band unbreakably with its admirers.
