It’s hard to believe what Fontaines D.C. have already achieved in their short history. The Irish post-punk band has conquered the charts, wowed audiences at international headline shows and major festivals and even been nominated for a Grammy – all in just five years!
The story of Fontaines D.C. begins in Dublin, where singer Grian Chatten, guitarists Carlos O’Connell and Conor Curley, bassist Conor Deegan and drummer Tom Coll met while studying music at university. Connected by their love of poetry, they published two books of poetry together, from which some song lyrics later emerged. This rather unconventional start to a punk band illustrates the band’s tendency to do things differently than expected.
With their debut album “Dogrel”, they made an immediate breakthrough in 2019 thanks to their unique fusion of a gritty post-punk sound with thoughtful and poetic lyrics about the Irish working class.
The Fontaines D.C. released their latest album in the summer – “Romance” is the band’s fourth full-length album, and the tour of the same name will also take the musicians to Austria next year.
