The Fontaines - Liberty Belle
Wednesday 31st May, 2017
They say: "Liberty Belle is a song inspired by Dublin City - Loyalty to the self, a lack of pretence, and life in the Liberties."
We say: "Classic rumblepunk in the tradition of The Ramones, The Fall and The Libertines.
Bonus marks for the gutteral vocals that were apparently seasoned by perilous nights in cheap rooms, doused in rock and roll mouthwash, bellowing along to lovingly scratched Dubliners albums.
The spirit of Luke Kelly and Ronnie Drew endures."
The Fontaines perform in Galway's Roisin Dubh tomorrow night, Thursday 1st June. Keep an eye on their Facebook page for more up-to-date gig info.
