Stone Temple Pilots! I just realised it. Fontaines’ song Sundowner reminds me a bit of both My Bloody Valentine and Stone Temple Pilots. Curly who wrote the song and sings it says he was going for a shoegazey feel on this, and what I’m hearing is the wash of Loveless alongside the drumming of Pretty Penny. Then Motorcycle Boy has the Smashing Pumpkins influence. Very 90s, but also so timeless that Fontaines are the sound of the now. What do we think?
