Fontaines D.C. - Skinty Fia - FIRST REACTION

[@edwardhight]

Time to react to the new album “Romance” Jon 🤩

[@JoshTT2]

'I love you' is an exceptional track. Those verses send shivers down my spine. I've not listened to their previous albums but this is great. It's got a rawness whilst being so mature lyrically. It's poetry at times.

[@MrBlonde2222]

The lyrics about the failings of the Irish government are unreal when you actually listen and take them all in. It sounds amazing to listen to but the lyrics are just as impressive.

[@keltone]

The opening of Roman Holiday gives me goosebumps every time. Great react vid

[@braytechexoscience2790]

Such a great album. I'd always *wanted* to get into Fontaines D.C. but struggled to until this. It's this like, great mix of Joy Division, The Stone Roses and something unique.

[@MW-dd8vk]

They also seem to be influenced by 80’s/90’s bands like Oasis, The Cranberries and U2 from what I can hear

[@MrBlonde2222]

I think there’s a clear The Cure influence in there also. Brilliant album.

[@marysiastrozynska1940]

‘I love you’ gives me such gooosebumpssss

[@duff3r00]

Squid is another cool up and coming post-punk band, from the same scene as Black MIDI and BCNR. They rule

[@Sam-yy6yw]

Hell yeah, bright green field is such a great album

[@thytoe]

saw them on kexp they were fkn sick

[@FilletDev]

BLACK MIDI FTW

[@dylanoneill]

I play my part

[@mozzerianmisanthrope406]

If you have any more post punk bands that would be great. Going to try the aforementioned. Can't wait to see FDC live. Epic.

[@dragon13304]

One of the best bands going around at the moment

[@AshleySmith-dw6wh]

I recommend reacting to some Black Midi before their new album in July, their first 2 are incredible and will make for a good first reaction

[@HarrisonSim]

I second this. Black Midi is a must-listen.

[@andrewwdavvid]

Absolutely. They came up with BC,NR, so it’s not out of the question!

[@lucasp.calheiros2755]

Yeahhh react to black midi

[@FilletDev]

BLACK MIDI YES YES

[@harrytrent13]

Great album I've loved the previous 2 records but this one is special theyve really matured sonically

[@JonDenton]

Yeah I'm enjoying it more and more with every listen

[@amanwithaperm5142]

You should definitely listen to brutalism or joy as an act of resistance by IDLES, they’re one of the bands that popularised the recent British post punk scene, and are one of the best and most consistent bands in the world ATM

[@scottster97]

Yes please!

[@SinopsisLovesYou]

You're absolutely right about how these tracks will grow on you. I had pretty much the same thoughts as you on first listen, but can confirm every single song has a very special place in my heart a year down the line. it takes time for you to understand what each track is trying to do and once you understand its incredible

[@alfiewright1396]

I wonder if they maybe could have cut How Cold Love Is. It's just a fairly slow start overall, and imo that's definitely the weakest track. Can feel like a fairly drab first 5 songs on first listen, as Jackie is such a grower I also love the album to bits though

[@chivasluis1]

I've listened to these guys everyday for like the past 2.5 years, and have yet to get tired of them. Literally EVERYDAY haha. They are also great live! Super raw and authentic, and you can say they made it? They are touring with the Arctic FUCKING Monkeys this year. Fav band

[@Christoph-gm1ub]

Amazed at your thoughts on Jackie down the line. It breaks their top 5 tunes ever for me. Loved it from the get go, so catchy

[@lewis_kelly]

Brilliant song isn't it !

[@quoteth]

I come yet again to say - Great reaction and also definitely still want to see a reaction to Car Seat Headrest's "Twin Fantasy" (2018) and also their album "Teens of Denial" !! Both fantastic Indie classics.

[@owenbennett5594]

Teens of denial would be a super interesting reaction I think

[@silvzz1]

I'm really happy you reacted to Fontaines DC loved also the previous albums and Skinty Fia is 🔥 too

[@Brian-kw5jb]

If you'd told me that after first hearing fontaines dc that they would become the band I listened to most since, I would never have believed you. First fell in love after listening to a heroes death, but am all over them now. Also loved Grians track with Leftfield, and his new album, especially Fairlies 👌❤️ absolutely love his voice. Loved watching the reaction to this, great content thanks

[@BritPopSnob]

I already love this band and have all three of their albums. Loved watching your reaction to this amazing new album by them. I hope you are going to be consistent with playing and reviewing other bands as good as this. Everything Everything's new album comes out this month and the new Foals album comes out this summer.

[@matttaylor9365]

I went to watch these live last week and the way they perform this album is like nothing I've ever heard the energy is ridiculous and they have a strange way of changing the tempo and aggression in songs to the point when they nearly don't sound like the same songs from the album. It was an incredible night and this band have so much potential it's crazy

[@PINE_333]

Bro yes!!!!! King Gizz AND Fontaines???? Let’s gooo

[@greg5730]

Black midi, squid, shame and bcnr are some of my favorite acts from the current "post punk" scene in the UK at the moment and I think it could be interesting to do some coverage of those groups. I'd especially recommend getting into black midis discography before their 3rd album drops in July

[@greg5730]

I know there are plenty more too

[@CambeulWalker]

I love, “Couple Across the Way”. Think it highlights their trad Celtic influences really clearly. But I’ll admit I’m biased toward contemporary Scots/Irish folk stuff

[@jamielee5695]

Yes Jon! Great idea with a separate channel for this. I know what you mean about the vocalist Jon, it took me a while but now I love him and the band! Like with the title track for you, all their music grew on me with each listen Theyre superb live too, lots of energy

[@cameronduncan619]

Waited so long to hear a reaction to this album!!!!!

[@cneufe]

loving the new content. there's a lot of exciting rock coming out right now

[@ShreyasKr...]

Wow, thanks for introducing to this album... This one sounds good... Will listen to it today... Thanks jon... 😶I recommend checking out discographies of old praised projects of great bands so that channel grows... You are now making one of a kind content, keep doing what you do...

[@riskybusiness42]

Gotta react to Sorry’s new album Anywhere But Here

[@j.m.2788]

You have to listen to IDLES if you haven't yet. They're a UK punk/post-punk band with high energy songs and great lyrical themes. "Joy as an Act of Resistance" is my go-to album by them.

[@mtjdwan]

Jon, new album came out Friday, HAS TO BE DONE!

[@ollyflashman]

great vid jon! love this album, love your other channel too! xotwod

[@TKbeatwerk]

Execptional album

[@finlayaitken1702]

For the first time - black country, new road oh and the new black midi single!

[@matthewbanton7077]

would love to know what you think of this today, I wasn't the hugest fan on first listen, it was around a high 7/low 8 for me at the time, but it's genuinely grown on me to the point where it's my favourite album of the decade alongside Wolf Alice's Blue Weekend and Kendrick's Mr Morale

[@felix-barth1279]

I would love to see a reaction to st. Vincent- daddy’s home. I was so happy when she got the Grammy for this one and it’s one of my favorites of last year.

[@luke.6001]

You need to hear The Smile's album that drops this Friday, it's a new band formed by Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead and it's absolutely phenomenal!

[@FilletDev]

Black midi cavalcade is the best album. of. all. time! its a must listen

[@jaaqob2]

great reaction! you should react to some black midi their album cavalcade was maybe the best album of 2021 or if you dont want to commit to a full album they just dropped a new single "Welcome To Hell" and it's honestly one of their best songs they are a really great experimental rock band with some jazz elements and they are from the UK

[@liammacdonald8289]

Amazing band, sensational album. You should check out an Australian band called DMA’s and they’re first album Hills End

[@binkytube]

One of my favourite repeat albums to this day. I hear a lot of Oasis and Liam Gallagher in this album.

[@scottster97]

I second anyone suggesting black midi. Already seeing a great evolution in their sound before their third release in July.

[@adotlex101]

You should check out “Glow On” by Turnstile. They’re a hardcore band that have blown up in the last year

[@stavrosOWLCITY]

DONKEYYYYYY good video, really enjoyed the sound of this album

[@harryb7552]

legendary band

[@finlaylonghurst]

listen to the new black midi single, they’re so good

[@maxp9753]

love the channel

[@harrytrent13]

Also I'd recommend reacting to the previous 2 fontaines dc albums

[@KaylaProd]

Theres so many bands from the UK I'd love to see you check out if you havent! Squid, Black Midi, IDLES, Courting and Do Nothing especially

[@ayeshas2928]

I’m happy I’ve found someone who loves this album as much as me. It’s very cinematic, atmospheric, and big. You can definitely picture something for every song. A couple across the way does kill the vibe though🙁

[@ayeshas2928]

Also don’t really enjoy Jackie down the line

[@jacksonpaul3804]

Literally the 2 best tracks on the album

[@ayeshas2928]

@@jacksonpaul3804 I don’t know. I just don’t like them. They’re very boring to me.

[@keltone]

Every good album has a quiet track. Helps with mastering but makes the loud song after it even louder. The function it plays on the album as a whole is essential but I can also see it being boring out of context by itself.

[@owenbennett5594]

Hello Johnny boyyyyy, love that you’re reacting to this stuff as well now. Would be interested to see you react to some Viagra Boys. I’d say their 1st album (Street Worms) is better personally but their second LP (Welfare Jazz) came out last year and is also pretty cool.

[@sandymiller5653]

Another band you should check out is Iceage. Theyre also considered post punk but in a very different way, they take punk and combine it with elements from noise rock as well as blues and country/americana stuff.

[@brianmccaul5205]

The new Spiritualized album is worth a listen

[@lucaslpy5507]

You should listen to the best post punk album of this century which is Interpol's first album

[@milanlukic6359]

amazing,, ma nemoj mi reci, fala kurcu da je album amazing kao prva dva, bend je majbolji na svetu

[@jontyryder2456]

Have you reviewed any Sports Team?

[@pharlap12]

You should react to Viagra Boys - Welfare Jazz

[@w3z332]

Would love to see you react to calvacade by black midi

[@AGrrrlsTwoSoundCents]

Just here to leave a request for a video on Squid's 'Bright Green Field.' Thank you!

[@jackhildebrand2720]

Jon’s gotta get into king krule!!!!

[@nckgmz83]

Sweet Deal

[@slowdivestan4ever]

joy as an act of resistance- idles

[@benedekistvan2655]

Do you like metalcore?If yes,I'd recommend Northlane's new album:Obsidian.It's a good mix of modern metalcore and techno music.

[@saysuhmi]

You defiantly gotta listen to the new Porridge Radio album when it releases on May 20th... also curious if you'd like the new Yawners album too lol

[@weeklyshonenguy1099]

Love the album! Have you heard Blue weekend by wolf alice? I would love to see a reaction if you haven't.

[@matthewbanton7077]

that and this are the best albums of the decade so far imo, best rock bands of the last ten years or so too in my book

[@mariamariaaaaaa_]

Dance Gavin Dance

[@mattadamson1995]

Please do Joy as an act of resistance by idles!! Love the channel glad you’re doing this aswell as the main! Keep it up love the content

[@dvxdvx93]

If you like this sound, Protomartyr's Relatives in Descent might be a good shout.

[@aresdz5006]

You should react to Car seat headrest - Twin Fantasy

[@DerpChar]

Listen to the smile! Thom Yorke and jonny Greenwood’s new album. Radiohead 2.0

[@leereddy6295]

Black Midi is a MUST.

[@zakkbrown3297]

Don't like asking for reactions coz I bet it gets overwhelming but for anyone reading check out For Those I Love. Another highly underrated Dublin artist who does post-punk in a far more creative way but with a hip-hop, spoken word twist. Like The Streets but more emotionally intense

[@MGMA510]

React to the new sticky fingers album, they’re a great band and they’ve got some brilliant new songs

[@harrytrent13]

Really think you should react to yard acts debut album a band with spoken word vocals on modern day culture Really great post punk really remind me of gang of four it got great right ups and got to number 2 in the charts

[@natalielevitch3745]

PARQUET COURTS!!!

[@brewster99]

Would definitely second calls for reacting to IDLES Joy as an Act of Resistance of you haven't heard it already!

[@mellebellebo]

me too i love IDLES

[@tyronemckie4628]

I recommend Surrender by Maggie Rogers

[@jamesm6667]

Great reaction. You should give Warpaint- Radiate Like This a go

[@Kiara-jg8le]

Please react to their newest album Jon!

[@bernardvanheerden3546]

Please react to The Pretty Reckless Death by Rock and roll album

[@cneufe]

I think it would be cool if you reacted to Black Midi or Squid's KEXP performances too cause I think you'd enjoy them

[@owenmarginson3655]

I rate u react to the two new paolo nutini tracks that have just come out👌

[@Sam-yy6yw]

Don’t know if you’re aware of it, but you should definitely check out Deathcrash's debut album from this year. It’s one of the most beautiful rock albums I’ve heard in a long time

[@TundraCH]

Jon gotta react to the new Polyphia song that just dropped, called Playing God, it's mindblowing

[@davidh.8798]

Really perceptive review.

[@27remdog27]

PLEASE LISTEN TO PARCELS THEY’RE SOME VERY FUNKY WHITE BOYS

[@Plsticc]

React to To Everybody by 90 Day Men please

[@corbinvl4461]

FALLING IN REVERSE!!!!

[@neb5086]

Jon If this guy is recommending Falling in reverse he can not be trusted

[@8MIIIR]

Yeah nah, fuck that
