Other bands’ fan accounts: pics of the band members looking good or doing fun, endearing or silly stuff
Fontaines fan accounts: *devastating, life-altering poetry a band member, often Grian, casually dropped*
One of my absolute favourite things about Fontaines. And thank goodness for these fan accounts, I think the band is almost throwaway about some ideas that many other bands would kill to have once in their careers. All hail, Fontaines.
#now i say ‘usually grian’ but some of the most devastating things i retain from this band have come from#interviews with carlos or deego for me personally so just take it that this is an entire band of ideas#they’re all just like that. no wonder to me then; that they formed over a shared love of poetry and literature#and the idea of the band only came after#<- some og post tags#I know not as many bands are Lead Singer and His Buddies#but this is a case where the cool ideological thing#(for lack of a better word)#is shared by many members in a similar way#so it’s harder if not impossible to love their poetry and see them through a Grian and the Grians lens#the fact that they’re all game for (individual) interviews helps#and most importantly#at least this cycle (correct me if I’m wrong)#it wasn’t just Grian writing the lyrics#so yeah everyone’s a poet here#they were just listening a lot to The Strokes while reading poems
