Over the last year, Fontaines D.C. has released five critically acclaimed singles, all of which garnered considerable support both from radio, with the band A-listed at BBC Radio 6 Music for their last single ‘Big’, and from a vast range of international press, with the band featuring in a number of end of year lists and receiving high praise from the likes of XS Noize, NPR, Rolling Stone, Q, NME, The FADER, Time Out, DIY, The Line of Best Fit, Dork, Clash, Gigwise, So Young, Stereogum, Paste and more.
Now, ahead of their highly-anticipated debut album ‘Dogrel’, which is out this Friday, the band have shared a new lyric video for their single ‘Boys In The Better Land’. The single was premiered as Annie Mac’s “Hottest Record” on BBC Radio 1 yesterday night.
Speaking about the single, frontman Grian Chatten, said that it is “a celebration of independent thought.”
