J. Ó Dochartaigh, respectively.\n\nThey rap in a mixture of English and Irish, and come from a place where communicating in your native language could, at one time, result in your death. The trio's first single \"C.E.A.R.T.A.\" (cearta is Irish for \"rights\") was released in 2017, followed by their debut studio album 3CAG, in 2018. Their second studio album, Fine Art, was released in 2024, and a biographical film about the group was released later the same year.\n\nThe group has been at the centre of public debates about free speech and the expression of political opinions within Ireland and the UK. Their themes focus on working class Belfast youth culture, Irish republicanism and Irish language rights. In concert, they have made statements supporting Palestinian nationalism. Their name is derived from the extralegal punishment attacks meted out by Northern Ireland paramilitary groups.\n\nThe name \"Kneecap\" is word play, referring to both the practice of kneecapping, a punishment of gunshots to the knees which Republican paramilitaries would inflict on what they described as \"political\" and \"normal\" criminals, including drug dealers and others, as a form of vigilante justice, and the Irish phrase \"ní cheapaim\" (which sounds like \"kneecap him\"), meaning \"I don't think so.\" Móglaí said it is intentionally ironic that a group with the name Kneecap sings \"about things that would get us kneecapped.\" https://tinyurl.com/ycka7zpm", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3584226, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3584226/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-11-28T18:39:47-08:00", "show": 65233, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65233/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Starburster", "track_id": "91ad38e8-584a-45a1-a1df-dec8043110b7", "recording_id": "097fe880-c4ac-460d-8df2-251971e0c24a", "artist": "Fontaines D.C.", "artist_ids": [ "fd87acc7-e0a0-4a45-bc2a-d2ab5c10be68" ], "album": "Romance", "release_id": "6e0aa1d9-17ce-4423-87bc-4fec3d0b5f34", "release_group_id": "92b095c1-3bbf-456f-9425-2078ad4e9504", "labels": [ "XL Recordings" ], "label_ids": [ "14221f01-8939-4ea0-b8f1-b5a21beae80a" ], "release_date": "2024-08-23", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "The song was written about a panic attack that frontman Grian Chatten suffered at London's St Pancras station.\n\nGrian admitted that he wrote the song \"as a joke,\" and when showing the track to the rest of the band, \"they laughed.
