Fontaines D.C.<\/a> gave new song \u2018Tongue\u2019 its live debut last night in the latest taster of upcoming album \u2018Dopamine Chamber<\/a>\u2018 \u2013 check out footage below.<\/p>\n

The band were playing Brooklyn\u2019s Kings Theatre on Monday (September 21), and surprised fans by giving the new song its first airing. Back in 2024, the Irish-punks told us about their love of Korn<\/a>, and since footage of the new song has circulated on social media, some fans have said they can hear the nu-metal band\u2019s influence on it.<\/p>\n

Users on Reddit<\/a> have been trading their verdicts from the footage, with one calling the\u00a0 groove of the track \u201cmenacing\u201d and \u201cheavy af\u201d. It comes after the band recently shared the full tracklist for their upcoming fifth album, \u2018Dopamine Chamber\u2019.<\/p>\n

As well as lead single \u2018Marianne<\/a>\u2018 along with two new fan favourites recently debuted live in the form of \u2018Six Shot Morning<\/a>\u2018 and \u2018Happy For You<\/a>\u2018, the full album\u2019s song list \u2013 which you can check out here<\/a> \u2013 also has a surprise in a duet with Spanish pop pioneer Rosal\u00eda on \u2018Where Is Gone?\u2019<\/a>, marking their first-ever guest vocalist on a track.<\/p>\n

The follow-up to 2024\u2019s acclaimed and Mercury<\/a>-nominated \u2018Romance\u2019<\/a> follows the band\u2019s recent contributions to the Peaky Blinders: Immortal Man\u00a0soundtrack<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0War Child \u2018Help(2)\u2019 album<\/a>. \u2018Dopamine Chamber\u2019 moves deeper into \u201cdarker and more synthetic sounds\u201d, and searches for pleasure amid peril \u201cin a world tipping towards collapse\u201d from threats in digital and artificial worlds, as the band shared in an official statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe album itself is a dopamine chamber,\u201d said Chatten. \u201cYou step inside and we test these different mind or mood-altering pieces of music on you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The frontman, who visited Venice, Vienna and Sicily in search of lyrical inspiration, continued: \u201cI think \u2018Romance\u2019 was maybe 60 per cent human and 40 per cent corrupted by automation, and a loss of feeling. This one feels more like 60 per cent corrupted \u2013 the mask is wearing the face a little more. I felt it would be more powerful to leave the hope out and reflect the ugliness honestly. This one needed to feel more like a catastrophic warning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leaning into the themes of the record, bassist Conor \u2018Deego\u2019 Deegan shared: \u201cOur albums have always questioned a sense of place. First Dublin, then being away from Dublin, and then trying to find the romance elsewhere. On this record, the question became: where do you escape to?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Dopamine Chamber\u2019 will arrive on October 16, ahead of a UK and European arena tour<\/a> before a run of stadium and outdoor dates in 2027<\/a> with Little Simz<\/a> and Viagra Boys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This follows a huge summer for the Dublin band, who stepped up to headline both Reading & Leeds and Electric Picnic.<\/p>\n

NME awarded Fontaines D.C.\u2019s Reading headline performance four-and-a-half stars<\/a>, hailing it as \u201ca deserved coronation from the band of our time\u201d.<\/p>\n
