Fontaines D.C.: KCRW Live from HQ

[@matthewpledger421]

Absolutely loved this performance! Only tiny pet peeve was the censoring during "I Love You". Art is meant to make you feel something, whatever intended or perceived emotion that is. Fontaines have drawn such a cult following due to the raw expression and passion in thier live performances, and whilst its a small thing, censoring de-values the artist and the song and therefore the art.

[@lloydbricken2567]

It’s lame, yes, they were probably making it into a radio broadcast..

[@stevekokidko6031]

100% agree. Ridiculous to do to such a great set

[@Lyndanet]

These guys are so good

[@shamiemcguire1588]

Your right. Look what we go through everyday. And utube wants to cut a couple of curses. Which are fundamental to the lyrics. Shameful

[@AvgJane19]

[@siracusemusic9447]

Have a ganders @siracusemusic

[@sratus]

Which over produced bands are you referring to?

[@teknokont]

@@sratus polyphia for example, but most of the popular bands tend to record a wall of sound when they are in the studio. That's a trap, layerin 6 channels of guitars won't make the song better. That's why I don't want to listen to Foo Fighters' albums, in contrast Foo Fighters is a better band on stage for me

[@miguelangelmiranda8460]

Very impressive live sound, instruments and vocals. Congratulations all round and to KCRW. And I loved the sole ‘Bastard walks by’, just because it had to be there, regardless of radio play. FDC are the open door of a cage for many, and rightly so.

Chilli Jesson is the perfect bass sub player for Fontaines. So happy he got to do this. Would absolutely love to see a Palma Violets reunion, first album is a 10/10. Hope to see these guy soon even tough it's been almost ten years. Pretty sure they would have had a similar career path to Fontaines if they sticked together.

Constructive criticism if I humbly may for ze string section; try level guitars up dry and then turn on the reverbs afterwards, a lot of the music is drowning and it sounds like you're hiding behind pedals when there are good licks n lines all working together, but again drowning, you somewhat sound like the peak of the reverbs is your level, again level dry then add reverbs 😇 if I may 😅
