FONTAINES D.C. - DOGREL VINYL (LP)

Release Date: 12th April 2019

The debut album from the young Dublin rockers Fontaines D.C. is a 'big', brash, brooding bonanza of indie-rock, post-punk, and something very uniquely Irish! Storytelling is the key here and each track takes on its own life in both lyrically and musically. Imagine a more melodic, romantic Protomartyr!

FFO: IDLES, Shame, Drahla, Protomartyr
