Join us for the next Butch’s Listening Party at Spirited in Bedminster – where we give great albums the room they deserve!

This time, we’re diving into Skinty Fia by Fontaines D.C.

Released in 2022, Skinty Fia (an Irish phrase loosely translating as “the damnation of the deer”) is a brooding, widescreen evolution of the band’s post-punk snarl. It’s darker, more textural, and emotionally expansive – wrestling with Irish identity, displacement, and modern alienation. Expect the motorik pulse of “Jackie Down the Line”, the gothic intensity of “I Love You”, and the swaggering, warped romance of “Roman Holiday”.

Come down, grab a drink, and sink into one of the most compelling records of the last few years!
