The vocalist is Ian Curtis reborn, and sounds like sounds like Irish Peter Steele when he speaks. Quality sound from the band as well- look forward to hearing more!
These guys are such a special gift to the music world. It's lovely to have that feeling of excitement about a band - I haven't had it for years. Cracking performance. Well done to all involved. Band of the decade, by a country mile.
For me, I hear Modern Lovers influences... Saw Fontains D.C. open for IDLES two nights ago at the Rock and Roll Hotel in Wash. D.C. - IT ROCKED!!! ...and here I am on UA-cam looking for more Fontains D.C.! Well done guys!
I saw them with IDLES in Baltimore a couple of days before the DC shows. Since then I saw IDLES at 9:30 Club and Fontaines DC at U Street Music Hall. I assume you were at both of those too!
We're in Toulouse but..... Lead Guitars are- José Peril(english), Mr Tony(irish). Lead Drums are- GoGo(french). we do garage punk drunk rock. an we do it good... until gin gets involved. WE'RE NOT ALCOHOLICS, WE'RE JUST REALLY SHIT AT BEING SOBER
Other good and similar bands from Ireland are Melts(A bit like The Horrors and Stone Roses) and Just Mustard(would remind you of My Bloody Valentine it Broadcast)
John really does like these guys. He definitely turned me onto them. Dynamite sound. Really tight. Great drummer. Plus they seem like such nice lads. And suspiciously handsome, too. I'd like to see them tour with Parquet Courts. Methinks that would be an amazing show. Good stuff right here.
This has got to be my favourite KEXP performance. My dad showed this to me almost 3 years ago and it just got me hooked. Theres something about the energy and gitteryness that they have in this performance that keeps me coming back every time. Fontaines are just awesome
Absolutely love these guys, in some odd and quirky way. I found ‘em by accident on SoundCloud a month ago, and I’ve been keeping tabs on these guys since! Big fan! Great performance!
Quality band, love what I've heard so far. Saw them support Shame recently and will be going to seem them at Joiners Arms in Southampton. Looking forward to album! 👌🏻
feels like Grian (singer)'s microphone is quieter than the other instruments, like when there was less going on (like the beginning of liberty belle) I could finally hear him properly? absolutely class band, makes me want to go to 80s dublin, gives me Sing Street vibes
The lead singer is a mix of some different singers that he resembles and the Fontaines sound is very like a mix of other things that they sound similar too. Which is nice.
I love how many bands that are around just now that are unashamedly influenced by the fall. Not a bad thing being influenced by the the most inventive band and greatest group ever imo
I read somewhere that they got to know each other sitting in pubs discussing James Joyce poetry.... that seems almost too Irish to be the real truth, but I choose to believe it anyway.
*I NEED YOUR EARS* What Dublin band does the guitarist recommend at 13:16? Familiar with IDLES, Shame, and Melts and dig all them deeply. Figure any recommendations from them are worth a listen. Cheers.

What the heck is happening in the UK? Nothing but really great energetic music and tuneful songwriting? I've never heard of these guys, but yeah, pretty great stuff! Just great really! (And, what's this... touring with Shame? My other fave find of 2018...)
I read that later... they might not be pleased with my error. Nevertheless, something is going on "over there" that is rather different from what is happening here in the States. Good stuff though, I know you'll agree.
the fuzz on the rickenbacker, so good
@Westin Benton yea, I have been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D
Like melting cheese
Semi electro guitars do

I just find myself coming back to this, year after year. So glad I discovered this back then. So deserved success. Beautiful band.

I agree with you, lots of similar bands coming through now but these are on a different level.
HMLTD is awesome if you're into the whole Bowie / Bauhuas thing.
@@cubanheelsbeerbelly ?
@@ko6el they're a band.

Yep, I like this. Some seriously righteous punk rock coming out of the UK and Ireland these days
Yes I recently caught Idles. They helped me discover this band.
@@JerryPeersonMusic Did you even read his post?! He said Ireland AND the UK.

@Kevin CollinsI saw them together also. It was awesome.
I agree, all of them are great musicians but definitly the drummer has a super quality level.
what a beautiful sounding rickenbacker
One of the best kexp performances
This has got to be my favourite KEXP performance. My dad showed this to me almost 3 years ago and it just got me hooked. Theres something about the energy and gitteryness that they have in this performance that keeps me coming back every time. Fontaines are just awesome
Mind blowing performance
The singer looks like Ian Curtis and sings like Mark E. Smith ! Also they remind me of the early Strokes ! Amazing
No seen as much charisma from a frontman since morrisey tbh… incredible.
I am nearly weeping over how fantastic these guys are. What the hell have I been doing with my life that I didn't know about them before today?
Liberty Belle...sooo good
I already bought my Ticket for May when they open up for Idles here in the US
I'll see you there
i was meant to see em when they supported shame november last year but got there late
The Rickenbacker guitarists face is just a masterpiece during big
Roskilde 2019. You saved my festival. Best concert this year
Fantastic, can't wait to see them support Shame but more importantly need to hear an album and see them on tour.
@John Higgins I couldn't agree more. You still playing a bit of snooker John?
Absolutely love these guys, in some odd and quirky way.
I found ‘em by accident on SoundCloud a month ago, and I’ve been keeping tabs on these guys since! Big fan! Great performance!
Quality band, love what I've heard so far. Saw them support Shame recently and will be going to seem them at Joiners Arms in Southampton. Looking forward to album! 👌🏻
I can not wait to see these fellas. (Cleveland)
“there’s more of a … desire to get to the root of the human condition and all that kind of stuff so” ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Class band
What a band!!! You guys are fantastic!!!
so many great bands coming out of uk and ireland at the moment. hotel lux are awesome too

Lili Graham loved that movie
The sound is all over the bloody shop, not up to usual KEXP standard.
the vocalist I find a resemblance to Ian Curtis
the first thing that came to mind. noticeable imitation
yes indeed. got the same impressions from the first view
Definitely not by accident 🙄
Dress sense is modeled on him for sure.
and looks like young Liam lol
Seen them 3 times in Mike the pies Listowel county Kerry. They are brilliant live and a great bunch of lads !!! Everyone needs to see them !!!!!
The lead singer is a mix of some different singers that he resembles and the Fontaines sound is very like a mix of other things that they sound similar too. Which is nice.
wow the more i see of these guys just gets better,,only started yesterday ha jesus christ
Yep, this is my type of jam. Explosive!
punk again!!!!! awesome...fresh new good old rock n roll
Primeiras canções, só as porradas pós-punk. The Fall é referência, com certeza. Thanks.
Reminders of the Fall here..what a brilliant band coming out of Dub :)
Definitely the best post-punk band of the 21st century. Ian, get out of this body !
They remind me of an Irish joy devision but more modern and up to date. Too class
Yes brothers!
really like this band
Band of the century so far.
They won't ever be the band of Ireland tho.
That's SLF 🤘🤘🤘
Sweet music. Sweet guys. Sweet future for this band
the fontaines came into m life what the flip i proper love this band my name is Mr T Carney
Savage as usual. The energy is unreal in this x
Can't wait to see these guys in November with Shame, Sorry and HMLTD
Been listening to this non-stop. Soooooo Gooooooood! Can't wait to see them live in the states
Love the Repeal geansaí!
Looking forward to seeing this lot in January. What with the Idles in April as well, shaping up to be some decent acts coming to the fore
drummer has a girl band shirt.. hope they come back someday
Well, wish come true
Oooh!!! someone has been listening to The Fall!.....fab stuff
I love how many bands that are around just now that are unashamedly influenced by the fall. Not a bad thing being influenced by the the most inventive band and greatest group ever imo
00:23:54 Wow this is so good man
That's young Bob Odenkirk. rockin' out!!!
more like a young jim jefferies
More like young Kevin Costner
Better call Saul
Bloody great 👍🏼
I read somewhere that they got to know each other sitting in pubs discussing James Joyce poetry.... that seems almost too Irish to be the real truth, but I choose to believe it anyway.
Go on the lads! Amazing 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
4:45 channelling wire. Yes, i am old
Vu au Cabaret Vert hier soir, énorme prestation, groupe incroyable.
great new band
FABULEUX
This sounds great, looking forward to catching them w Idles next month.
In Ireland???
punks not dead!!! great!
Wait, did they play conor byrne in 2018?! I saw them in 2022 at a packed showbox sodo...seeing them at CB would have been one for the books. Damn.
Well this stopped me in my tracks alright...just awesome
It really is fantastic!

Life's a riot. RIOT!!
Is that a Billy Bragg reference?
!!!
Savage stuff lads!
i prefer them then than now... just my opinion
Mc5. Raw Power.
the singer's a mix between Mark E. Smith and Ian Curtis
YES!!!!
Reminds me of The Cramps a little.
if you like this listen to Cloakroom Q from Belfast. and obviously Captain Mad and the Musketeers of Hate
Am I the only one who doesn't hear Joy Division? I hear the Fall + the Rakes.
see ya in brighton in december just booked 4 tickets for prince albert
Forget about the monorail T-shirt. Drummer has a girl band T-shirt on. I’d love if the world was ok and girlband returned
❤️❤️❤️
grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat
ACE!
These boys love the Simpsons heroes
Which one is Rickenbacker?
Rickety cricket on drums
Hurricane Laughter , fucking gowan i says
Do they have a different bassist now?
hahaha it's still the same guy but he looks insanely different with facial hair
nice)))
What about 'The Rags' lyric theme very similar?
No one mentions The Fall
macaulay culkin on drums
Weird that 'Boys in the better land' sounds like 'boys better' by Dandy Warhols
Ian Curtis docet
