FONTAINES D.C. Info:

Fontaines D.C. are a post-punk band from Dublin, Ireland, that formed in 2017.

Carlos O'Connell, Conor Curley, Conor Deegan, Grian Chatten, and Tom Coll met in Dublin while attending music college at British and Irish Modern Music Institute in The Liberties, Dublin.

They bonded over a common love of poetry and collectively released two collections of poetry, one called Vroom, inspired by the Beat poets (Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg) and another called Winding, inspired by Irish poets (Patrick Kavanagh, James Joyce, W. B. Yeats).

The band got their name from a character in the movie The Godfather called Johnny Fontane, a singer and movie star portrayed by Al Martino.The initials D.C. stand for "Dublin City".

On April 12, 2019, the band released its debut album Dogrel on Partisan Records. The title "Dogrel" is an homage to Doggerel, working class Irish poetry – 'poetry of the people' – that dates back to 1630. Dogrel won Album of the Year 2019 from both Rough Trade and BBC Radio 6 Music. -Wikipedia
