Fontaines D.C. - Boys In The Better Land (Darklands Version) 

I'm an Egyptian mummy 4000 years old and this has rocked my pyramid

I am Galactus, devourer of worlds, I am the sole remnant of the universe that existed before this one, and now that I have heard this band, I hunger no more.

I'm a wee Greenland Shark, barely 150 years old and even my mum and dad love Fontaines.

I'm 112 years old and I love this band!

I'm 62 years old. And you guys are one of the most exciting bands I've heard in years. Jackie down the line is my current obsession . . . Move over, the old guard. . . There a new gang in town.

I'm 56,am I allowed to go and see these lads??? Brilliant!

"With a face like sin and a heart like a James Joyce novel" is poetic as hell. I know these guys got together over their shared love of poetry and I sincerely hope they don't forget their roots. As a young person, it makes me ecstatic as hell to listen to young bands who know what's up. I also love that the lead singer sings in his natural accent; if you have an accent, use it, don't obscure it.

I’m 6843 years old and I love this band! 😂 In all reality though this is one of the few shows of a newer band that I saw all ages there, old heads, young people, everyone was jammin

I am dropping 2050 years old. I am stock with their music. All the lyrics are beyond imaginative . One of a kind band for sure. Xoxo.

I'm an ageless bog witch and I love this band!

Most exciting band I’ve heard for years!

I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal. And I love this band.

Omg, I've known these guys for, like, three hours and I've already booked my fucking ticket for their Athens concert. Woah. Just woah.

I'm ,57. Reminds me of the punk scene of the 80's I loved it .

I heard this for the first time on the radio yesterday, and thought that I was listening to some lost awesome 80's/90's record that only the cool DJ's knew. Turns out it's a bang up to date slice of excellence. Love it. Thought that quality guitar music was dead - WRONG!

Fontaines DC sound a lot like something I heard somewhere before.. and at the same unlike anything I've ever heard before.

Me and my better half are in our 50s and these guys were the last gig we saw right before the pandemic music is ageless ‘do not go quietly into the night’😊

I'm 54 and digging this band! But then again I'm an old punker since 1981!

You can practically taste the smoke, sweat and beer. So much character. And that front man, just something so charismatic about him

I’m 106 and I was head banging to this when I first heard it

I am 89 this band brought back so many memories

4 YEARS LATER & STILL MAGIC🙏🛐☮️💟

Ils sont vraiment brillants ces jeunes de Dublin - Greetings from Bordeaux

I like that post punk is not about silly haircuts, safety pins, & dated tattoos. Just music & lyrics. “I like that!”

I'm Japanese.I love this music.

They play their own instruments. They have a drum kit. They have a guitarist. The lyrics are spot on. I love their sound. Beyond cool.

This takes me right back to some exciting Irish bands like - Sultans of Ping - A House - The Fatima Mansions - JJ72... Fontaines DC have it going on... I love it as it feels like just right for this moment.

I'm 66 and just discovered this by way of a post on a Gang of Youths song. Talk about being transported! Makes my heart beat stronger, Gotta luv it!

Un son incroyable, ,un chanteur classe et charismatique , mon groupe préféré 🔥🔥🔥

Best band I have heard in years. Rock n Roll is still alive 🇮🇪

Every once in a long while I come accidentally come across music that immediately grabs my attention. I just heard a song this band on radio South Winds Blow which sounds great, after checking Fontaines D.C on youtube and listening to a few of their tunes my ears pick up on a great mix of MC5, Damien Dempsey, Shane MacGowan, Billy Bragg, Joy Division, a little Dylan, James Joyce, A little of A House, The Strokes, I know that with a few more listens all those others references will fade away The music is great, it, it is raw, it is real, it is fresh, those boys tell great stories, they fully believe in what they are doing, they grab your attention. What more do you need to enjoy excellent music.

The good music is back in the Irish land !!!

At last, a young band we can believe in. Superb on every level.

i am 548 years old, im i allowed to see these lads? fucking amazing m8

best band of the recent years you can't change my mind

Best f--king rock song I have heard in a long time.

It's been a long time since I've heard an amazing Irish rock band. This track is killer!

I am 60. This is Ian Curtis reincarnated. This is seriously great. I am a believer.

It's like The Jam and The Jesus and the Mary Chain had collab session and then had pints with Sleaford Mods.

The word flow reminds me a little of Courtney Barnett

Crackin open up a cold one with the boys in the better land

I like you Ireland, from Poland, cheers

In d 90s these would Dominate d airwaves,cause they're closer 2 Perfection than d rest,end of.I just got BBC6&found'em,better l8 than never,aye?☮️&❤from Oslo.Time flies,use it,fly🪽

I have just come across them , I am just shy of 62 ! can I go & see them too ? just wonderful

Lyric You're not alive until you start kicking When the room is spinning and the words aren't sticking And the radio's all about a runaway model With a face like sin and a heart like a James Joyce novel Saying sister, sister how I missed ya, missed ya Let's go wrist to wrist and take the skin off of my blister If you're a rock star, porn star, superstar Doesn't matter what you are Get yourself a good car, get out of here But the boys in the better land You're always talking 'bout the boys in the better land The boys in the better land But the boys in the better land You're always talking about the boys in the better land The boys in the better land Driver's got names to fill two double-barrells He spits out "Brits out!", only smokes Carroll's And he's refreshing the world in mind, body and spirit Mind, body and spirit, you'd better hear it and fear it Oh that's the spirit Saying sister, sister how I missed ya, missed ya Let's go wrist to wrist and take the skin off of my blister If you're a rock star, porn star, superstar Doesn't matter what you are Get yourself a good car, get out of here Yeah But the boys in the better land You're always talking about the boys in the better land The boys in the better land But the boys in the better land You're always talking about the boys in the better land The boys in the better land The driver's got names to fill two double barrels He spits out "Brits out!", only smokes Carroll's And he's refreshing the world in mind, body and spirit Mind, body and spirit, you'd better hear it and fear it Ah that's the spirit Saying sister, sister how I missed ya, missed ya Let's go wrist to wrist and take the skin off of my blister If you're a rock star, porn star, superstar Doesn't matter what you are Get yourself a good car, get out of here Yeah But the boys in the better land You're always talking about the boys in the better land The boys in the better land But the boys in the better land You're always talking about those boys in the better land The boys in the better land!!!!!

I drank a fifth of plutonium and I'm loving this song

i saw them at victorious festival in portsmouth and that was the first time i heard them. i now absolutely love them and as a teenager it’s nice to see people who are a lot older than me agree

I'm 19 years old and I love this song. From Japan. P.S. I'm girl. It doesn’t matter, though.

I saw these guys at a festival in Portsmouth having never heard them before, these guys are electric on stage, converted to a big fan!

Skate 4 let’s go

Saw these guys last night in Liverpool... Smashed it... Unreal..

I’m 16 and I bloody love this music

Something magic about this version, I love the new version but this has that rawness

It’s wild how they went from this to Skinty Fia and Starburster

AWESOME

Love the sense of urgency to this, perfect driving soundtrack.

That's some beat right there. My fav track of theirs. Go-on go-on go-on. I feel like I'm roaring along on a bike just sitting here listening to it.

Amazing...brilliant...superb :)

Best sounds to come out of Dublin in a long time.

You know they're great when you dig every single on first listen. Refreshing authentic rock n roll
