Just to clarify, when I said “UK (Irish)” I didn’t imply that Ireland is part of the UK. They (Fontaines) get grouped in with all of those bands in “the UK post-punk scene” even though they’re Irish. That’s it. I think I was being misconstrued.
Yeah that’s really unclear perhaps using UK & Ireland rather than the brakets actually conveys that? But also no real offence taken, I was just teasing back really to make a point.

LOL, sorry. I didn’t think any explanation was necessary but if we’re clarifying things, I was making a joke more about how sensitive the Irish are about being grouped together with the UK within any context. I didn’t mean to suggest that you were ignorant to the geopolitical history or structure of the country’s that currently reside on the British Isles. Furthermore, I was really just taking the opportunity to post a Simpsons gif.
I think smaller countries generally are. There is a want to maintain that individual identity and so there is a resistance to being homologated into the bigger country next door by proxy. The politics and British actions over the last 800 years just add to the spice lol!

I have to say I'm shocked by this too. Good album but nothing spectacular. I PIFed my copy.
