FONTAINES D.C. TOO REAL

Bursting forth with their heady brand of noisy indie rock, Dublin natives Fontaines D.C. have been winning over audiences with their raucous live shows for the last year or so. Partnering up with producer-extraordinaire Dan Carey for their first single on new home Partisan Records, ‘Too Real’ is a ferocious slice of thought-provoking raw energy that channels the unorthodox guitar noise of Girl Band mixed with confrontational vocals and the all-encompassing washed out grunge of Nirvana. With Carey’s signature crunchy drum sound hitting in all the right places, ‘Too Real’ is a behemoth of a track that feels like it could spiral out of control at any second. Coming complete with a lo-fi tongue-in-cheek video, ‘Too Real’ arrives just in time for Fontaines D.C.’s extensive list of support dates with Shame and IDLES as well as their own headline tour this December. -Holly Mullineaux
