The whole album this track came off is awesome. One of the best things I've heard in ages. When you're in your 40's and think you've heard it all, then you hear this. I fucking love music.

[@ashleypg1708]

Amazing live!

[@MrsGamgee977]

42, saw them live this summer having never heard of them before and now they're my fave new band. Don't you just love it when that happens?

[@Vloetje.]

So true. Almost 40. Discovered this album a few weeks ago. Can't. Stop. Listening. Amazing how music keeps surprising.

[@ajaxcastle9400]

Pushing 50 and these boys make me feel like I've hit gold with my secret bands from my teens!!

[@robertlobensteijn6227]

pushing 60........ but wtf... this is going back... great..

[@robiroberts558]

This is the band we will take our preteen granddaughter to see when they come around here. A young rock music lover, she deserves the chance to to say, " I was there."

[@Globaldave1970]

Absolutely . I'm in my 60s and think the same. This is the best band in ages!

[@sailingric]

Just heard for for the 1st time on BBc 6 Music. I was bouncing around like an 18yo, I'm 53. This is a work of guitar and lyrical genius.

[@nickmead9671]

sailingric iam from Australia and have been listening to bbc6 for 10 months open my ears to some great bands and I'm 56!

[@pikeyorg]

sailingric it,s ok I’m 52 , same effect,

Give it up Grandads. I'm bouncing to this and I'm only 49.

@@rafterbloke8808 Come on guys... leave it to us young kids... I'm 34!!! 😉

[@skinnyleg7476]

hahah :)) I am 44 and just before I read your message, I was telling to myself age does not change my taste in music and what turns me on.

[@robsmith7567]

This is just exactly what the Irish music scene needs

[@mudmikkelsen8867]

thats what the whole world music scene needs.

[@xdjamesboy6242]

Very true rob smith. I'm hopeful for the future

[@50ShadesOfEndo]

It's pretty good for the world music scene as well

[@fullskapunkalchemist3471]

Probably the best Irish band since stiff little fingers

[@drbhla6868]

Obsessed with this. These lads give me hope for the future of rock music

@Scouse Macca finally! Someone else who can see the truth. Absolute garbage band in every way.

[@TheStupidcomment]

@@viktornikolov2420 really wow I never noticed

[@ludovicapugliese6155]

I've found them fews days ago and I can't stop listening to their songs. It's like Fontaines D.C. have something more than the other bands of the last years, they're connected with the past punk rock music and yet their songs sound fresh and original. Hope their future works will be as great as Dogrel and they'll have the recognition deserved!

[@MajorArcanaTV]

Is it too real for ya? These guys ROCK.

[@UnaCanzoncina]

I want to cry for how much I love all this. Great band, music speaking to my soul, plus you gotta love an intro of 1 minute and 29 seconds.

[@jantje155]

Just heard em for the first time on dutch radio (a dj spins a record recommended by a foreign collegue every week). Blew me away, simple riff, two chords, great catchy verse, Irish punk at it's best.

[@joep7698]

Waar hadden ze dit opgezet?! Ik had deze track ge shazamt in de plaatselijke kroeg hahaha

[@radmutt1115]

Ahhh None can pull the passion loose from youths ungrateful hands As it stands, I'm about to make a lot of money Gold harps in the pan None can revolution lead with selfish needs aside As I cried, I'm about to make a lot of money Gold harps on the side Is it too real for ya? Is it too real for ya? Is it too real for ya? Is it too real? The winter evening settles down The bruised & beat up open sky, six o'clock The city in its final dress And now a gusty shower wraps the grimy scraps Of withered leaves all about your feet And then the wringing of a twitching hand Six o'clock, six o'clock Is it too real for ya? Is it too real for ya? Is it too real for ya? Is it too real Is it too real for ya? Is it too real for ya? Is it too real for ya? Is it too real for ya? None can pull the passion loose from youths ungrateful hands As it stands, I'm about to make a lot of money Gold harps in the pan None can revolution lead with selfish needs aside As I climb, I'm about to make a lot of money Goes around & around & around Oh ye boya Is it too real for ya? Is it too real for ya? Is it too real for ya? Is it too real for ya? Is it too real for ya? Is it too real for ya? Is it too real for ya? Is it too real for ya?

[@invisiblecurious856]

The bass at the end its brilliant 3:50 - 4:03, especially when it rings

[@dannygee8600]

You Havnt lived till Uve heard these boys live, truly brilliant

[@connoranderson4327]

True

[@NewAlternative40Chart]

"Too Real" debuted at #33 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!

[@camdentownjohn]

It's at no. 20 in the UK upfront alternative radio airplay chart

[@klausrain111]

This is so fine! Charismatic singer, tight band, great lyrics and arrangement, plus Sleaford Mods influence. In this modern age or any other, this is right up in there with the best there is.

[@carolwarner63]

Absolutely love! Reminds me of the good old days. 57 and counting.

[@tatum3d]

Can’t stop listening to these lads. Love them. Their music, lyrics , genius

[@Riviere8281]

Dublin music scene gave me hapiness on music again. It began with Idles at London , then now all those amazing irish bands.

[@pitmatix1457]

Just heard these guys for the first time a couple of days back and every tune is a belter. Albums ordered, can't wait to stick 'em in my ears!

[@dorachandra8191]

I just loooove this song!!

[@aeropro7558]

Roll on next year when hopefully I can go see fontaines....this tune will make the crowd explode..literally. Proud to be a Dubliner.

[@ryanclancy2295]

My friend told me about this band, rock music is still alive.

[@wglassman]

This song is so good. This whole album is excellent

[@alexislascanoortega7282]

Siempre en busca de nuevas bandas, siempre encontrando cosas como ésta, wowww no paro de escucharlos!!!

[@stevelongshaw5107]

My album of the year, love it

[@bensmith6351]

Best band for a long time, brilliant 👍

[@mozzerianmisanthrope406]

I need to see this band before they end up in arenas. I hate arenas. Give my dingy, dodgy intimate places anytime over impersonal arenas. Come to Newcastle soon, pretty please. That said would travel to Manchester; it'd be worth it. Grian we love you! 💜

[@jackjude]

The type of thing to listen to when you miss live music.

[@petertaylor9624]

Same to me when I first heard thier stuff on DR (Danish Radio). It blow my mind out of this cracking band. I'm 52,love it.

[@paulmonaghan1260]

Amazing tune and band

[@Boo-wt6st]

Crass comes to mind when I listen to these lads. Crass were brilliant.

[@thebatista5777]

Come to Brazil!!!! Amazing song!

[@distantmoons]

I'm loving the guitar work on this!

[@bhughes8301]

I love this. Can’t wait to see you in the States

[@jimoliver535]

These guys share a fair bit of both Joy Division and The Fall. I dig em.

[@yeatsbell3480]

I hear a lot of that with the addition of REM, the cure and the clash

[@puddingwithoutatheme4378]

and Sonic Youth

[@milespotter6259]

@SuperVHSchannel lol, very bold statement. The fall, maybe, but Joy Division? Fuuuuuck no. I know music is subjective and I respect your opinion tho, maybe listen to Unknown Pleasures and Closer all the way through and your opinion might change.

[@tatum3d]

& the Dublin accent extra edge

[@2012starman]

@SuperVHSchannel I agree they are far more 'advanced' musically than joy division or the fall right from the start 'Dogrel'....

[@anitaszolomicki1167]

. listening to this on repeat for hours and hours

[@sosickhcdrums]

My favorite band at the moment!

[@ScottieBMTH]

Perfect video

[@stanmenshic8993]

Absolutely spectacular post punk music and left of field delivery, I haven't felt this excited about rock music's possibilities since hearing the 1st 3 Wire albums & the Murder Capital.

These guys and Viagra Boys have reconfirmed my faith in new music. Can't get enough of both bands, borrowing from the past but sounding incredibly now and fresh. Nice one! Looking forward to Fontaines album. Ps showed this band to my son, I'm 52. He loves it too!

Love this band, I really do, plus I've got a good dose of Irish blood in me. But i was half expecting him to start singing a tame version of Pretty Vacant. Song is great anyway. "Is it too real for yah?" Holy sh*t these guys are so good!

[@craigbohs3373]

phenomenal band.

[@ignorestreetdealers2565]

I remember when you played it In Brussels before IDLES, back then I didn't know your music but I loved it.

[@alancooke1533]

Been waiting for this !!!!

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

No I am not going to do, I do not care what the people say, My back is up against the wall but I will not back down, I going to have my say, This is outstanding music, it is full of life, a little raw but real, great rocking music, makes my hands clap, my feet tap and my legs dance, it this moment I am dancing around the kitchen, in to the lounge, out in to the hallway, down the steps and out in to the roadway and I will not stop until this record comes to an end

[@TPSSh]

soooooo GANG of FOUR!!! I like it

[@jg41709]
