Fontaines D.C. Covers BMTH Amid Tour Cancellation

Fontaines D.C. recently delivered a synth-heavy rendition of Bring Me the Horizon's 'Can You Feel My Heart' during their appearance on triple j's Like a Version, creatively intertwined with Nirvana's 'Heart-Shaped Box'. This cover, devoid of their usual guitar and strings setup, was inspired by the electronic elements from their latest album 'Romance', according to guitarist Conor Curley. The band initially considered switching entirely to 'Heart-Shaped Box' but decided to incorporate its elements into their BMTH cover. Alongside this performance, they also played their original track 'Starburster', a fan favorite from their 2024 album. Their Like a Version appearance coincided with the cancellation of their South American tour due to frontman Grian Chatten's recovery from surgery. The choice of songs reflects Fontaines D.C.'s exploration of mood and nostalgia, aligning with their recent musical endeavors.
