I disagree and not complaining I just bought tickets to their next show and they are my favorite band right now. But I do admit I am getting scared with the two new songs. I love the first three albums because it brought me back years when I thought music was a lot better. The albums were grungier and more Rock. I feel like this new album is going to be more pop than the music I fell in love with. But I could be wrong and my fingers are crossed
A charismatic frontman, a band full of musicality , two new songs where their sound has evolved brilliantly, but they haven't lost that punk edge. Makes this f***ed up world a better place.
41 year old Dad in North Carolina… watching every move you make, boys. I wore a hole in Starburster and now I can’t get enough of Favourite. Counting down the days until the album release. Whatever you are doing… it’s working. Keep going.
@mradhurley heard 4 songs off it and you're saying you're not feeling the same vibes already? I mean who knows and I get what you're saying but...come back in August and we can both be honest 😂
@mradhurley I know, four isn't many and I should've put "looks like 4 classic albums in a row" but still I'm an optimist off the live stuff and singles 😂
this feels like watching the beginning of what will be considered a classic band in the future, both singles have been just incredible, this album could be one of the best of the year
How I love the great evolution you all have developed throughout all of these recent years. Grian Chatten, keep being the great poet you are!Ich liebte es!
I love this. Nostalgic but new and warm at the same time. Reminds me of going to gigs in Dublin back in the day. Can’t wait for the album and to see them later in the year.
@@ryanheyworth9359 i admit that the statement was a bit hyperbolic. however, this song reminds me of the smiths and new order. this of course does not make it any less original, in fact it is beautiful.
After hearing this song, I pre-ordered the album on bandcamp. Damn, this band just sounds so good. Really looking forward to the new album. They just keep getting better and better.
Pure Johnny Marr on the guitar there lads... lot of time for this band, maybe because everything they put out feels like a trip down memory lane for someone of my vintage...
I'm a 59 year old bruce springsteen fan so set in my way's 😂 but this group are brilliant just one of the best I've heard live all the musicians are talented love the sound
Fantastic.... with a bucket full of talent and attitude - superstars in the making. Love the hair clips and mike tape! A class act in a seemingly endless stupid and cruel world- this is a breath of fresh air.....keep it up chappies🤟
. Thank you. I was hoping something this dope was out there.i love the melody and everything about this group of amazing music artists working together to make is vibe I’ve been unconsciously craving.bravo. Jools has one the best shows ever and I doubt anyone has seen so many amazing performances than him.
I’ve only just got into the fontains dc i only know the songs in the past that have been on the radio but not heard much so i looked them up on Spotify now i absolutely love them
What a moment for this band. Evolved beautifully. Favourite may well be their best yet - hard to chose from such a great discography but Favourite feels like an instant classic - perfect riff, lyrics and dynamics, a truly great song, from what may be the best band in the world now. If romance delivers on its promises it will be a decade defining album, in any case they are so worth getting excited about.
Their musical evolvement is special. So special that you rarely see musicians at the highest stage these days get to a sense of freedom where they can create the music they want to. Massive.
