Carlos O’Connell with Fontaines D.C. live at Leeds Festival 2022 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Fontaines D.C. are on tour in North America through to early October.
Fontaines D.C. have been back on US late-night television, offering up the Skinty Fia stand-out Roman Holiday for The Late Late Show With James Corden.
“Places and people are constant lyrical themes: opener In ár gCroíthe go deo, or In Our Hearts Forever, with its cloistered harmonies and slow building reveal, tells the story of a woman’s battle with the Church Of England to have her headstone inscription in Irish,” our review of the album reads.
“The reverb-doused Roman Holiday is about Chatten’s experiences in the capital and Britishness seen as a casual adversary – ‘I don’t wanna see the Queen’, he croons, ‘I already sing her song’, a reference to the concession of speaking somebody else’s tongue.”
US touring is due to continue in San Diego tonight.
