They look like different characters in Guitar Hero World Tour

[@acszoke]

Do shrooms and listen

[@fantanoisdead]

love how they change the entire aesthetic for every new album

[@markdinh]

It’s giving me 90s Green Day vibes

[@pazuzu1]

@@user-wv2ye8qc2m i love this song but im not liking the nu metal influence they're talking about. but skinty fia was easily their best album wdym

[@zuppymac-xi8rk]

​@@user-wv2ye8qc2mFor someone who doesn't like them, you spend a lot of time on their videos commenting (yes, your other accounts too) 😂😂😂

[@mradhurley]

@@markdinh ummm....no. It's 00's nu-metal.

[@bigbrainmcflurry2425]

They’ll never top “ A Hero’s Death “ I’m enjoying them having. Fun with their appearance

[@GracelessBeast]

I haven’t stopped listening to Staburster since its release, it sooooo good and this performance… Damn, its iconic. One of the best bands of the last few years and they somehow keep getting better!

[@miguestopholes1]

I’ve had it on repeat too!!

[@Freddie_Dunning-Kruger_Jr.]

Absolutely love the song but wasn't keen on the bridge but have grown to ❤ it after a few listenings

[@armr98]

I haven't stopped listening to them since being introduced to them when they opened for Arctic Monkeys!!! Love their sound and beat!!!!

[@kathenry7904]

Several times a day since its release... Gut wrenching in the best way

[@jankubat2694]

This and Wild God by Nick Cave.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

They are getting better ,and better a very serious band.

[@Tityretupatulae]

Lol

[@mradhurley]

serious? they're doing Korn cosplay.

[@lenoreorrell2450]

Yeah ok

[@erc_io]

How can you hear this song specifically and say NOW they’re serious 😂

[@UnreliableUsername]

​@mradhurley they look nothin like Korn

[@guy8029]

I like how they didn’t censor the swear words on the song, makes a difference

[@frogambassador]

Prob because no one could make out the lyrics 😂

[@davebeery_youtube]

I like how the drummer hits the snare without hitting the hi hat at the same time. Super punchy.

[@guitaristssuck8979]

Because that's easier to do than hitting them together

[@pamela8329]

Ace in his field, Tom is.

[@colebrenkman5084]

Linear drum patterns are awesome! Look up a great big pile of leaves for similar drumming

I regularly share this sentiment

[@user-gk1cs3ik5s]

I do, i do

[@howardeastwood1]

Best song released in 2024 so far. Hands down.

[@m62films-upthenorth]

This feels like hearing Unkle for the first time...rocking back and forth in a dark invigorating space

[@samtizzle3369]

I said exactly this, gives me Ian brown/unkle vibes, somewhere between golden gaze and be there

[@markweaver8529]

@@samtizzle3369sounds like an Ian brown vocal over the back of the track. Definitely has an ian brown/unkle vibe to it. Tune of the year so far.

[@3k3k3]

A man of culture!!!

[@96Eclipsed]

Took my daughter to Arctic Monkey's last year in SF. We were in line for Merch and she heard music. I said meh, it's just the opener, no biggy we won't miss AM. We sit down just before I Love You came on and we were both blown away by this band. After show we both couldn't stop talking about Fontianes DC...I went out and bought us each a copy of Skinty FIa on vinyl and we're looking forward to their Show at the Warfield!

[@rjp5167]

I was in a bar in Boston 2 years ago and heard jackie down the line on the jukebox. Asked the bartender if he played it as it looked his vibe but it was an older guy that played it. Went back the next couple days and the guy played it each time. We listened to them on the way home and I was hooked. Missed them with arctic monkeys but saw them at stone pony in new jersey which was epic.

[@mrmoose-bt6ns]

Wee lick of Whipping boy & A-house interlude... Respect to the Irish post-gru ge

[@nickgooner8021]

The creative juices that flow in this band is sensational, constantly evolving. Absolutely brilliant first single can’t wait for the album and tour.

[@ZZubZZub416]

Just got tickets for their Brooklyn show in October. Last time I saw them was in 2019. It’s going to be lit.

[@kathenry7904]

Damn, I hate Fallon, but I was dying to see them play this genius masterpiece live, and it was well worth suffering him to see them. One of the greatest things I've heard ever

[@ape-in-a-tree9701]

[@SeanD1847]

Seen them live 4 times now and this whole image switch up is baffling honestly. I have a feeling its a mix of the new record label and trying to widen their audience. I can't be the only one thats seen this and been like wtf. Who knows though, they could look completely different by the next album (if there is one). At the end of the day the music is still great, looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.

[@miguestopholes1]

Seeing them live is a cathartic experience. I had a similar reaction to the aesthetic shift. However if we are to assume based on how sick Starburster is I’d say it’s an authentic shift that is intended to parallel the album.

[@billiramone]

Also, not a fan of the hip hop chorus. The gagging sound Grian makes after every verse really has me hoping they're being ironic about it.

[@SeanD1847]

@billiramone they aren't, I read the song apparently came about from grian having a panic attack for the first time or something

[@The_AndroidSentByCyberlife]

Yeah, kinda makes me sad that this is the same small growing band performing A Heros Death 4 years ago. They were so pure and true, just feels like a performance now. I know they're growing and evolving as bands do but it just feels a little bit of a shame

[@herschelhatcheriv9577]
