Dork hits the big 1-0-0, and Ireland’s fiercest band front the occasion with style, grit and a bit of Day-Glo chaos. Fresh from a US tour, a deluxe edition of their genre-bending fourth album ‘Romance’, and with a summer of sold-out shows – including London’s Finsbury Park – our new cover captures them mid-charge. Welcome to the era of New Romantics.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Massive features with CMAT, Bastille, and, obviously, Fontaines D.C.
