Belfast\u2019s most ungovernable export are back \u2014 louder, darker, sharper, and absolutely not here to play nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KNEECAP have announced their new album \u2018FENIAN<\/strong>,\u2019 landing April 24 via Heavenly Recordings<\/strong>, and if anyone thought the trio might tone it down after the chaos of the last year\u2026 think again. This is the sound of a band that tried being silenced, got angrier instead, and turned that pressure into fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following their critically adored 2024 album \u2018Fine Art\u2019 \u2014 and a self-titled biopic that scooped up BAFTA and Sundance awards \u2014 Mo Chara, M\u00f3gla\u00ed Bap and DJ Pr\u00f3va\u00ed are leaning fully into confrontation. \u2018FENIAN\u2019 was made with producer Dan Carey<\/strong>, and the result is, in their own words, \u201cmore sinister\u2026 because these are sinister times.<\/em>\u201d It\u2019s defiant, triumphant, and wired with a sense of purpose that feels both ancient and brutally current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The title itself is a statement. Inspired by the Fenian warriors of Irish folklore \u2014 and later weaponised as a slur against Irish people \u2014 KNEECAP reclaim the word as a badge of honour. For them, Fenian<\/em> now belongs to anyone speaking truth to power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After centuries of colonisation, the Irish language survived. KNEECAP see themselves in that lineage. They haven\u2019t gone away either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Paddies are back.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNew single: Liars Tale<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
