View this post on Instagram The rap trio were recently awarded four and a half stars for their performance at Reading on Sunday (August 30), with NME describing the “Belfast trouble-mongers delivering a feel-good blast to end the weekend”.

It added: “An arena-busting live show with the spirit of a lock-in but with the pulse and spectacle of The Chemical Brothers , the electro-punk abandon of The Prodigy , and the truth-spitting fire of Public Enemy – with an eyegasm live production to match.” Their recent album also received a four and a half star review from NME .

We said: “‘Fenian’ is a spraypainted brick wall of consistency, amplifying the adventure of The Prodigy and Burial , seamlessly but tastefully hopping genres while keeping the vibe up to retain Kneecap’s knack for having a good time to illuminate the hard times .

Put all the rage-bait headlines aside and what you’re left with is a solid, progressive and fearless album from a group that could just as easily be dicking around instead of making music that matters.
