Big Fontaines fan since I heard Hurricane Laughter before lockdown. Top live act, and then I saw them in Leeds last week. They're almost too good, the live show isn't the riot and on the verge of falling of apart like it was!! Very polished now and would well deserve their place on the top of the poster.
They deserve to headline next time. I saw them in Dublin last week and they were phenomenal. Plenty of variation to their setlist now as well. Big shows lined up for next summer. Its all there already.
They were brilliant live when I saw them last month. I don't think they need to add chitchat in between songs. They still keep the audience engaged without it.
Amyl & the Sniffers new album is an absolute belter. Love the attitude, love the energy. Lyrics are straight to the point, almost stream of consciousness. Amy is totally unapologetic in what she sings about and musically it feels more developed than recent albums. I don't think matches the sheer ferocity of their 2021 release but it's still a great listen. Would be great to see them on the Park next year.
