FONT

About

FONT aren't just riding the post-punk revival; they're ripping it apart and stitching it back together with jagged edges and acerbic wit. Hailing from Dublin, this quintet channels the angular energy of early Wire and the dissonant sprawl of Sonic Youth, filtered through a distinctly Irish lens. Their sound is a controlled demolition, driven by frenetic rhythms, distorted guitars, and frontman Dara Quilty's sneering vocals, which dissect societal anxieties with razor-sharp observations. FONT's early singles quickly garnered attention, but their breakthrough arrived with the release of their debut EP, solidifying their place as key players in the burgeoning Irish post-punk scene. Their live shows are legendary, a chaotic ballet of sweat, noise, and genuine connection with the audience. While still early in their career, FONT's relentless experimentation and unflinching honesty have already made them a band to watch. Recent performances and hints at new material suggest a continued exploration of sonic textures and lyrical depth, promising an evolution that’s as unpredictable as it is compelling.
