Fontaines D.C. delivers a raw and powerful post-punk experience with their debut album, "Dogrel." Released on April 12, 2019, under Partisan Records, this 39-minute journey is a testament to the band's ability to blend gritty lyrics with infectious melodies. The album opens with the anthemic "Big," setting the tone for the ten tracks that follow. From the chaotic energy of "Sha Sha Sha" to the introspective "Roy's Tune," Fontaines D.C. explores themes of urban life, love, and disillusionment with a poetic edge. "Television Screens" and "Hurricane Laughter" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy hooks, while "Chequeless Reckless" and "Liberty Belle" delve into more experimental territories. The album closes with "Dublin City Sky," a poignant reflection on the band's roots. "Dogrel" is a compelling debut that solidifies Fontaines D.C. as a force to be reckoned with in the post-punk revival.
