Fontaines D.C. - Favourite (Later... with Jools Holland)

[@pureostriker]

song has something nostalgic in it, yet fresh. love it

[@pabloisusi6097]

Yes! That riff, Some Go Betweens there, Feelies, Smiths...a past memory that it seems better than it was. Great music

[@johnnya.marion6052]

Yeah! for real though nice mixture

[@kerpoise]

Sounds VERY similar to Kodaline - Brand New Day 😮😮😮

[@evanpoole7829]

perhaps it’s how similar it sounds to the wedding present?

[@roguetoken5640]

These singles and their last album sounded very influenced by Madchester and Britpop

[@eleonoradini2371]

I'm 61. This band makes me feel like I'm in my twenties. Unfortunately, it's only my imagination, but that's the power of music! One of the greatest bands of the 21st century, and probably the best is yet to come...

I’m 70 same for me! Great!

how far have they come man, loved all albums so far but these 2 new songs are something different

[@fs2777]

right?! Easily my 2 favorite Fontaines songs, I didn't see that coming at all.

[@jamest3085]

jackie down the line still no.1 for me but favourite a very close second

[@oliveriosteinn]

More melodic, which is not bad.

[@hotbeefymcd8162]

Agreed

[@chrisewing1881]

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

[@frankcasey8782]

Feels like I’ve known & loved this song for 30 years…

Maybe it's because it sounds the same as Kodaline - Brand New Day 😮😮😮

It annoys me when folk of my age (59) bang on about how music these days is rubbish and they're stuck in the 60s 70s and 80s. Yet there are bands like Fontaines D.C. and many many others making superb original music.

[@eleonoradini2371]

You're right! Of course there's a lot of shit everywhere but if you carefully pay attention to bands like this one you will change your mind

Those folks just don't get exposed to great stuff like this.College radio opened my eyes and ears decades ago.

[@Chuck-i4h]

The alternative music of today is actually reminiscent of 80s alternative, and it is every bit as good. I’m your age, but I saw Muse twice recently and they were two of the best shows I’ve ever seen. This song by Fontaines DC is super retro.
