An Odyssey Sound Session with Fontaines D.C.

The Dublin-formed, London-based post-punk band are the most exciting band in the world right now. Formed at university in 2014, the five members include Grian Chatten (vocals), Conor Curley (guitar), Conor Deegan III (bass), Tom Coll (drums) and Carlos O'Connell (guitar). The Grammy-nominated group broke through in 2019 with their nihilistic, liberating debut album Dogrel. Their 2020 follow-up A Hero’s Death earned the five-piece a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album, and their chart-topping 2022 record Skinty Fia saw them win a Brit Award for Best International Act. Powered by the hit “Starburster”, their latest album Romance has seen the band soar to new heights with their instinctive rock sound, new pop melodies and immaculate live show.

In this episode, Tom joins Roxy in Sydney to talk about the songs that have soundtracked his life so far.

Listen to Tom’s playlist on Spotify or Apple Music.
