- During SXSW, we met up with Fontaines D.C. on the roof of an Austin parking garage. The Dublin band talks about debut album Dogrel, their interest in poetry, the beautiful video of Roy's Tune and the feeling of entrapment in Ireland and Dublin.

I absolutely adore the moment when Curley says “maybe we were enriching each others lives” and grian turns and assures him “we were, we were” - shows you everything about these lads you need to know
I’m the right side of 50 and have been to my fair share of Irish bands over the years.
I’ve seen these guys live twice and they are slowly but surely evolving into something incredibly unique and original.
For all of you youngsters, this band will be one of your JFK “yeah I was there” moments. Don’t miss out on that. Epic band on the grandest scale.
Just got tickets for later in the year in Manchester, got into them through Radio 6, sometimes the BBC has its uses.
What is "the right side" of 50? 51? 49? Age is less relevant now than it has ever been. Good music is good music. No need to make cryptic comments about how old you are...
45 and seeing them in Newcastle Jan 2020.
Saw them in Dublin last night. Unreal
Absolutely ! Been to see them last month , took my 8 year old daughter as she adores them. These guys are simply magical.
Not since The Libertines has a band mixing music and literature excited me so much and that they are Irish make me so happy 🙂
The Libertines were shit and over hyped!! These lads are much cooler!!
@@andrew2366 You were not a fan of The Libs? That does not make them shit. Hundreds of thousands of people disagree with you on that
Andrew Barker this lot are great but u clearly know nothing if u don’t like the libertines
Swim Low ooooo sorry
Yes, this band reminds me of the Libertines so much. Sometimes I still read "Boys in the Better Land" as "Boys in the Band"😂
So wholesome seeing this video in their younger days to were they’re at now. And CURLY did such an amazing job on sundowner my fave off the new album. Thank god for this band and bless these fellas
Dublin is churning bands out like crazy I only just noticed haha
Loved the reference to "Dubliners" from Joyce; that it was the mixture of hope and inertia that causes the pain....lovely...bought Dogrel on vinyl because I'm 58, a Dubliner living in Germany and I wanted something to hold onto (haha). Dogrel is a great album. I have great hopes for the music to follow. And of course all the best to the lads in the band. By the way, I live in the Saarland. Any chance of a live performance in this part of the world.
We're right on the cusp of the follow-up to Skinty Fia and they've just continued to grow. Can't wait for its release. Great band.
I want to see them gig 10+ times. Their music is the soundtrack to my life at the moment. Very thankful to have discovered their tunes
One great rock band can change the world.
Everything Ive ever wanted out of an Irish rock band. Legitimately rank these fellas up in my top 5.
These Guys are the future. They've got the guts not to be stereotype & mainstream to get their music across. But yet are still be noticed. Good on you . See you in Benicassim 😉
Saw them live as a support act for LG. Definitely a good upcoming band. I think they will blow up soon enough!
60's garage rock! My favorite. I love these guys! I wish them well.
At last, a garage band that aren’t a gang of bagheads and who are actually capable of writing well crafted songs.
I guess being able to sing isn't important in all male bands then?
@@bridgallagher479 I’ve seen you comment on other Fontaines DC videos. Do you honestly have nothing else better to be doing? Is it jealousy or something?
saw them in amsterdam had no idea what kind of band i was going to i have to say i was pleasently suprised
Mentioning Kerouac and Ginsberg, they're great. Give a read to Gregory Corso, too.
... very intriguing... I'm just starting to hear about this band and I am like addicted
I like them lotsa lotsa as well
Just getting into these guys,, I love their originality!, oh and that they are from Ireland. Love the lyrics!
yeah, these guys are good....them and Sleaford Mods....bringing back rock/punk authenticity.....can't wait to see 'em live.
Murder Capital too.. Like it!
My new favorite band...successors to the manics perhaps...long way to go to write songs of that quality though but they definitely have the ability in them..
IS IT TOO REAL FOR YAAAAAA????
Great set at Glastonbury lads.
The guitarist is Paul Brady's 1970's reincarnation
Hah! I see it.
YES!!! thanks vpro
I like this band
Had to do a double take. How in the world did Grian get ahold of a Virginia wrestling shirt? Small world. That’s about an hour from me... a little bit of UVA in Ireland... I enjoy the music regardless!
Richmond here - small world!
Curley looks a lot like a young Mike Mills from R.E.M.
Haha, thought I was the only one there for a second.
got tickets for sheffield November. :-D
Same!
Grian is a heartthrob
"We drank cocktails until we realised we are spending too much money, and we drank beers"
True, Grian, so true😂
I let my beard do my talking, thank you.
Great work guys
I also love the Cujo Family 🫒🕎🖍️
Had dit niet verwacht van vpro
In three years, Curley has gone from Mike Mills from REM to Nicky Wire from the Manics.
Cool Lads
it's been mentioned to me that Fontaines DC are a puNk band.Listening to this it's like a Beatnik convention with zilch connection to 1976 or even proto punk times-Jook,Iggy,MC5,Krunch etc etc.Listen to TOUTS from DERRY proper punk without the literary mindthink,poetic quotations inherent in a lot of these bands from south of Ulster-and TOUTS play 110mph melodic puNk which is brilliant.
at 3:02, is that Davy Carton from the Saw Doctors?
Come to Boston
Singer looks like Ian Curtis, and guitarist looks like Mike Mills.
Pub mentioned is on posh ol Baggot street now, black n white paint, dun a who's??
Raglan road is further down lower to your right round Pembroke, Waterloo is/was a nice pub, secret smoking area for a pint n book 😇
What was the third band he mentions when he talks about Irish bands coming through, heard The Murder Capital and Just Mustard but didn’t catch the last one of someone can help me out?
Alex Hutchison The third band was Melts
Isaac Dewhurst Cheers mate👍
Girl Band too was mentioned
@@joeordonez1680 they're no more unfortunately.
Curly is the image of Dylan Moran in Black Books!
Was Cuz , track title 😅
Somebody called them Dogrel 😅 thats how 'go ahead' was named 😅 somebody also probably mocked them and said 'ahh lads here comes ze "Fontaines' with their gibson gear and heads as happy as Larry', Fontaines are already a band name, DC probably stands for Dublin City 😅 id be a great detective, f'n hate police though 😅🫒
JA VPRO! eindelijk iets anders dan doorsnee tv
Reincarnation of Ian Curtis 😢
Elijah Banda I have said the same
Right??? 🖤
i see it
YOWL tee shirt - big up
love these boys but the drummer needs a baz
What's a baz?
I like the band, the music, etc., and have listened to the record multiple times. The best track is 'Hurrican Laughter', but now I can't listen to the remainder as I can't stand the delivery of the singer, The lyrics are just not that interesting and after a few listens you begin to realize the lyrical thin-ess of the piece. If he had a different delivery other than his 'I'm a Dubliner' , then the songs might have stronger legs- but they grate (especially the one that moans about educated people and phonies, etc. Silly stuff really.)
All this talk of Joyce and Yates, etc. (in the above) and then you listen to the lyrics: What the fuck you on about? The lyrics (and the static delivery) are what keep me away, but the music calls me back, but the lyrics are thin, period. It's a con-job lyrically. So I don't get out of it what I think I deserve to- and it's the delivery of the front man. Not my thing. Are you singing or talking? Make up your mind.
And why do you wear your belt so high on your hips? It's not cool and you look very uncomfortable.
@@Zezezeze69 I'm Irish thanks very much. Dublin born. I don't like his voice, he needs to evolve past the crutch of his talky-Dublin style. I can't listen to it anymore, it grates my nerves (and as said, I am Irish, from Dublin), which is too bad as I like the music/production. Thanks for your concern, but if this band falters, it's my belief I've stated the reason.
'Yeats'
I like the style it’s punky
Tony Tim I had a similar opinion until I saw them live and then it all seemed to make sense
Great band iam 56 ..these lads rock
