One of the best bands to come out of Ireland in ages! Brilliant music period.

[danielhutera]

I remember when this was released and I heard the first sentence (" I was towelled up...") I was sold immediately. This band is pure fucking class. Post-Punk and poetry.

[chrishead]

The Bass in this is fucking incredible.

I'm an old man now but some years back I shared an office with John Peel. He'd have loved this.

[Jer]

Having first heard "Televised Mind" live version! I instantly felt that sound I recall from my youth! I'm 52 now! Best thing I've heard for a long time ! Love it 😆

[scramtour]

Here in rural Pennsylvania, nothing like this on the radio, I can’t get enough of these guys. Love the accents. Kick ass song.

[ianhester]

Just when I thought of giving up of any hope of a music revival... Enter our Breath of fresh air, lads

[KINGMONKEY]

I may be late to the party but this band are absolutely amazing. It's been brilliant to go through there back catalogue and discover how brilliant there music is. Fontaines DC are the real deal.

[Linda-uhry]

I actually could not cope without these poets in my life .Fact

[ShowedUpBlackedOut]

Just seen these guys in Bath! Stage presence amazing. Born in 90s so never seen Joy Division but the lead singer had such a Ian Curtis vibe. Mosh pits were crazy!

[rerdjnz]

Finally there's yet hope for Rock n Roll This band keeps the tradition alive !🍻

[Prizzy]

When he goes on a loop with "And there is no connection available" he reminds me of David Byrne and Talking Heads, he used to repeat lyrics over and over in some songs.
Freaking brilliant!

[willmississippi]

The repetitiveness is intoxicatingly sublime.

[vasconapoles]

I was towelled up to the waist while you were fresh from the confession
The angry streets they twisted up and billowed with the laughter
Anyway I thought to burn the rags in some kind of primal fear
And now the night is blue and red and they're tearing down the plaster

Hurricane laughter
Hurricane laughter
Tearing down the plaster
Hurricane laughter
Hurricane laughter
Tearing down the plaster

And there is no connection available
And there is no connection available
And there is no connection available
There is no connection available

So to the hills we fled while the evidence was weighing
And weighing, and weighing, and weighing, and weighing
Eyes aloft all shocking blue aloft and purple, serious
Cities barking by the windows screaming to exist
Not without the muted mind of priesthood so imperious

Hurricane laughter
Hurricane laughter
Tearing down the plaster
Hurricane laughter
Hurricane laughter
Tearing down the plaster
Hurricane laughter
Hurricane laughter
Tearing down the plaster
Hurricane laughter
Laughter
Hurricane laughter
Tearing down the plaster

And there is no connection available
And there is no connection available
And there is no connection available
And there is no connection available
And there is no connection available
And there is no connection available
And there is no connection available
And there is no connection available
And there is no connection available
And there is no connection available
And there is no connection available
There is no connection available

[MsLins]

Absolutely brilliant, big pixies influence with a hint of punk, well impressed, watch out for these lads, they're going all the way.Anyone who appreciates excellent music watch this space...

[janinebrown]

My god its so intense!!!! His smouldering gaze and the heavy bass... It hits you in the pit of your stomach

[spencerdrums]

every single of theirs does not get old at all, favourite band of all time and always will be

[seankirkpatrick]

One of the best ... for the moment. Even kind to my 11 yr old son who was allowed backstage to hang w the band for a bit, before the San Diego show.... opened his eyes to his potential as a future drummer.

[gavaniacono]

I am rarely stood up, backed up, alert, immediately attached to new music heard than when hearing this, and the whole album.

[andzmilne]

So much like The Fall, which isn't a bad thing, brilliant!

[LazyTelevison]

These guys are the best. Every song blows me away every time.
