This week Steve picks out his favourite song of 2024, ‘Starburster’ by Fontaines D.C. taken from the Irish bands’ seminal album Romance. A song that marked a sonic and stylistic departure for Fontaines, ‘Starburster’ could be one of the most monumental singles in Irish music.
”‘Starburster’ isn’t just a track; it’s a defining moment in modern Irish music. It proves that Fontaines D.C. aren’t just evolving—they’re leading the way.” – Steve
