Fontaines D.C. have shared ‘Here’s The Thing’, the third single from their upcoming album ‘Romance’ which lands later this month.

“It’s an anxious tune that twists and turns in what it wants, back and forth between pain and numbness,” explains singer Grian Chatten of the track which was written mere days before the band entered the studio to record the album.

The band themselves have cited Placebo as an inspiration behind the guitar tones on this track but for us it lands somewhere between Weezer and Whipping Boy.

‘Here’s The Thing’ follows news that Fontaines D.C. will play their biggest headline show to date at Finsbury Park, London on Saturday 5 July 2025 . Joining them at the 45,000 capacity venue will be Belfast hip hop trio Kneecap and Australian pub-rock band Amyl and the Sniffers, with more to be announced.
