Fontaines DC share new track 'Boys In The Better Land' • News • DIY Magazine

Ahead of the release of their incendiary debut album later this week, Dublin quintet Fontaines DC have shared a final taste from it.

Landing in the form of ‘Boys In The Better Land’, the latest track to be taken from their first full-length is another pummelling number which encapsulates their gritty energy.

The track gets taken from ‘Dogrel’, which is out this Friday (12th April) via Partisan - catch up with our review here.
