The members of Fontaines DC, including Grian Chatten, met while attending music college at BIMM in The Liberties, Dublin.

The band took its name from a character in the movie The Godfather named Johnny Fontane, a singer and movie star. Although the band was originally called The Fontaines, they added the abbreviation DC, meaning Dublin City, after they discovered that a band in Los Angeles had the same name.

In music college, the band members bonded over their shared love of poetry. In the early stages, Fontaines DC self-released singles. By 2018, they had released hit singles such as Liberty Belle, Hurricane Laughter/Winter In the Sun, Too Real, Chequeless Reckless/Boys In The Better Land.

In November 2018, the band signed to Partisan Records. In less than a year they released their debut album, Dogrel, which was an homage to Irish working-class poem Doggerel – ‘the poetry of the people’.

Dogrel received widespread critical acclaim. It was listed as Album of the Year on the Rough Trade record store website, voted Album of the Year by presenters on BBC Radio 6 Music, and was nominated for both the Mercury Prize and the Choice Music Award.

Fontaines DC released their second album, A Hero’s Death, on July 31, 2020. The band wrote and recorded the album while touring for their debut album. A Hero’s Death was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2021 Grammy Awards. This post-punk band released their third album, Skinty Fia, in 2022. This became the band’s first reaching number 1 on the UK Albums Chart and Irish Albums Chart.

Some of Fontaines DC’s famous songs include Jackie Down The Line, I Love You, Roman Holiday and Boys In the Better Land.

In a recent conversation with Songwriters On Process, Grian shared that there is no such thing as a writing ritual. He calls his writing process “a constant, annoying companion.”

The Fontaines DC head shares that the key to writing is not taking it too seriously. That said, Grian shares that he does things like writing on his phone or avoiding journals and notebooks because paper makes it seem too serious, to ensure that he’s being productive.

The band earns huge amounts of money through tours and live performances. Another source of their income is from the sale of their merchandise, available on shop.fontainesdc.com.
