WATCH OUT FOR THE NEW IRISH PUNKS, FONTAINES D.C.
The Irish band, Fontaines D.C., are preparing to drop their biggest project yet. Now, ahead of their sold-out UK headline tour in April, they have finally announced the date for its release. Dogrel, from Fontaines D.C. lands this Friday via Partisan Records and it’s easily the most anticipated Irish debut album in years.
