Fontaines DC - Dogrel (PARTISAN) Review

12.4.19
Fontaines DC - Dogrel (PARTISAN) 9.5/10 This much-vaunted Dublin five-piece follow a series of increasingly successful 7” releases and acclaimed support slots with the likes of Shame and Idles, with Dogrel, named for the “lowest” form of working class Irish poetry, and a debut to die for.
