Fontaines DC share video for new song ‘Roy’s Tune’

Fontaines DC have shared a video for new song ‘Roy’s Tune’.

The accompanying video was directed by Liam Papadachi and features actor Dafhyd Flynn, portraying the day in the life of a young family who are struggling to make ends meet.

In a lengthy statement, speaking about the single, guitarist Conor Curley explains: “It’s sung to Ireland - from a mindset of frustration, depression, and a loss of innocence. I used to work in the service industry, at a small burrito place in Dublin, and I’d walk home at night because I couldn’t afford public transportation. Grian and I didn’t have any money, so we were sharing a double-size bed in the same converted office block. One night on my way home I was walking by The George, which is the biggest gay nightclub in Dublin, and a guy was getting kicked out by the bouncers. He kept yelling at them, “I’m gonna kill you stone dead!,” and that turn of phrase stuck out to me.”

It’s taken from the band’s debut album ‘Dogrel’ which is out 12th April via Partisan.
