"The fact that they executed album No.2 with such conviction, despite the mania surrounding them is remarkable. A masterclass," he wrote.
"It is an album that recklessly tears down the sheltering sky. It hacks the televised minds of a soul-sucked citizenry fed on a vomit of advertising platitudes. Reminiscent of The Clash, Fontaines D.C. have planted a defiant flag around which to rally. 'I was not born into this world, to do another man’s bidding,” sings Chatten, nor does he “want to belong to anyone'."
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Dublin band were forced to reschedule their Iveagh Gardens hometown show while their upcoming date in Cork has been cancelled.
Tickets go onsale this Friday, August 28 at 9am from Ticketmaster outlets and online.
