Dublin's Fontaines D.C. have been causing a bit of a stir for a while now, gaining a London following on strong word of mouth, leading to a support slot with Shame, plus they've had love lavished upon them from the likes of Steve Lamacq and the NME (I know, I stopped reading it when it from a Libertines fan club magazine to a freebie doled out in Top Shop, but they it still get it right occasionally).
New single Too Real is a weirdly brilliant rollercoaster of rhythm (THAT guitar sound is a wonderful thing) and lyrics, jarringly catchy, polished off with a refreshingly disaffected vocal delivery. To be honest it may as well come with a neon sign attached flashing "We're Ones To Watch, See You Everywhere In 2019".

Fontaines D.C. are currently playing the smaller venues on the circuit (they rock up at Southampton's Joiners in January) though I'll wager that, come the end of next year, you'd be lucky to find them playing anything smaller than an 1800 capacity venue.
