"Fenian, their new album, will get fans and foes talking about the music for once. From its cover art to its title, this is an album that is confrontational and controversial."
"Big Bad Mo concerns the aforementioned terrorism charges the UK government levelled at Mo Chara over allegations he brandished a Hezbollah flag at a gig - if it feels like a triumphalist number, well that's because Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, to give him his actual name, was vindicated."
"Liar's Tale is directed squarely at Britain's prime minister - a furious barrage that features the following acidic couplet: 'Nah, f*** Keir Starmer/ Netenyahu's bitch and genocide armer.'"
"Kneecap have been steadfast in their support for Gaza and their condemnation of Israel, and Palestine captures their sentiments in a brisk two-and-a-half minutes."
Kneecap's new album 'Fenian' marks a return to musical focus after a year of controversies, including legal battles and accusations. The album features contemplative tracks and confrontational themes, reflecting the band's experiences. Unlike their previous album 'Fine Art', which was playful, 'Fenian' is heavier and inspired by recent events. Songs like 'Big Bad Mo' address terrorism charges, while 'Liar's Tale' targets political figures. The band remains vocal in their support for Gaza, with the track 'Palestine' encapsulating their sentiments in a brief format.
