"THE KNEECAP" 

“Like Eminem, Kneecap’s humour is the key to their success. Their wit and eloquence shine through everything they do.” 
- The Guardian 

“Kneecap’s music reflects their lived experiences as young people, finding caustic humour in the down and out.” - The Face

Appena tornati dal tour statunitense sold out, durante il quale si sono esibiti al Tonight Show di Jimmy Fallon, i Kneecap presentano oggi il nuovo singolo "Love Making", tratto dall'album di debutto Fine Art, prodotto da Toddla T, in uscita il 14 giugno via Heavenly Recordings. 

Mescolando lo spirito della scena rave dei primi anni '90 con l'energia frenetica della musica da club del XXI secolo, "Love Making" vede il trio di Belfast, composto da Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap e DJ Próvaí, creare un ritmo coinvolgente mentre si muovono su una potente base ritmica. Come la band stessa descrive, è "musica per fare l'amore ispirata alle melodie garage degli anni '90, non c'è molto altro da dire,".

After taking this year’s Sundance Film Festival by storm, with their self-titled, Rich Peppiatt directed, semi-biopic film starring Michael Fassbender - notably the festival’s first Irish language film, and subsequent winner of ‘The Audience Award: NEXT’ presented by Adobe. The Kneecap trio made up of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap, and DJ Próvaí, followed with their US TV debut, on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show, where they performed previous single ‘Sick In The Head’. Shortly after, they helped lead the boycott on the Austin TX SxSW music festival, by announcing that they would be cancelling all live appearances, in a statement that was shared across social media. Other Irish acts including Chalk, Gurriers, and NewDad followed suit.

Kneecap will now embark on their sold out North American tour. They will be visiting Europe and the UK later this year, with several summer festival appearances including Glastonbury Festival. The full list of show is as follows:

When Kneecap entered the studio with producer Toddla T in the summer of 2023, they quickly decided to scrap everything they had already prepared for the album they were about to record. Instead, they decided to build a pub together.

Built on a West Belfast side street, The Rutz is a community boozer, in that the entire community uses it. All human life is inside, either thriving, striving or skiving.. Religious affiliations are irrelevant and the chatter is an intoxicating blur of English and Irish.

Although the pub is currently just a figment of the band’s imagination, all of the action on Kneecap’s exhilarating first album - Fine Art - takes place in The Rutz immersing the listener in a world thus far unrepresented in modern music.

Across the record’s twelve tracks and the interconnecting moments between them (recorded by the band and friends including DJ Annie Mac), the pub comes to life vividly, providing the perfect backdrop for the cast of characters that join the dots throughout the album. From the moment the idea was born back in Toddla T’s studio, it was the obvious location to base the world of Kneecap in.

Featuring vocal contributions from Lankum’s Radie Peat, Grian Chatten of Fontaines D.C. and Jelani Blackman, that positive effect comes into its own on Fine Art. A hip-hop record in the sense that the glorious sprawl of Check Your Head was, its approach to modern music is magpie like, reflecting how an evening of music might evolve at a festival, or inside the right kind of pub. Where the band’s previous mixtape 3cag reflected life and issues in Ireland at the point of recording, Fine Art was always intended to be about the band themselves.
