This track has been playing in my head 24 /7 for the last 2 weeks and I'm not even mad about it . Legendary.

[@spankyjeffro5320]

This song immediately got me hooked and has been stuck in my head since. Such a banger.

The absolute best song of the year. Maybe decade but it is only April. Fontaine D.C please take a very good bow!!

[@jpribula636]

It is so good. I can't stop listening to it.

These guys are gonna be huge, they are amazing ❤

[@Jettraha]

This band in my opinion should be hitting number one on the billboard! Love everything about their music!

[@realmusic4534]

They are getting better and better and better A very serious Band.

[@KristaMatthews-kk4cb]

Awesome song, great band ❤

[@backshotsforthewin2023]

Met them two years ago in ATL and all of them were amazing souls. Love them so much they even signed my shirt. ❤❤ amazing band and amazing people

[@karafogertey1764]

Agreed as a fan from the fresh new days. They work to keep grounded to avoid the shite of stardom. Good grounded lads with a brilliant alchemy. May they always nurture that group love.

Looks like he’s modelled himself on ‘Bono’ from that episode of I’m Alan Partridge. He’s got the largest collection of hatchbacks in Britain

[@ohraisins]

It's a bloody phenomenal song/track whatever. It's amazing and the best I've heard in ages. Congrats!

[@ddo4362]

It's true, wanker.

[@hbomb65]

this song shouldn't work, but they rolled the dice, and it is so on it, like a Barnett Newman painting, dark and minimal, perfect

[@raffles7556]

GreT band , lookin forward to the album…… but let’s not pretend the clothes situation isn’t very studied and bang in trend….but cringe if you ask me

[@JMD166]

The look like such complete tossers!

[@jakecubmier]

had the unfortunate experience of meeting them once, can confirm they are military grade tossers

[@crankyoldfart]

It's just a music video. You complete cunt.

[@plunkettkeith]

and what's your views on the song?

[@JMD166]

@@plunkettkeith Crap. it just sounds like Montell Jordan's 'Thi is how we do it'!
