Dogrel is the debut album by Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C., released on April 12, 2019, through Partisan Records. The album's title pays homage to "doggerel," a term for working-class Irish poetry, reflecting the band's intent to capture the raw, unrefined essence of Dublin life.
Musically, "Dogrel" combines the bitterness and rage characteristic of post-punk with a punch-drunk romanticism, resulting in a sound that is both intense and evocative.
The album has been described as a "rampage of poetic artistry delivered with a raw punk attitude," capturing real-life melancholic hope drawn from the bleakness of the city.
