For Irish hip-hop trio KNEECAPCEOL, their use of language isn’t political – it’s instinctive. Read their i-D interview:
in Westmeath, Ireland, playing to a sold-out crowd of fans. That’s no mean feat for any new act, but especially for this 10,000 strong crowd, who are all singing the band’s lyrics back to them – predominantly in Gaeilge.
The group are Gaeilgeoirs – native speakers who revert to Irish when talking to their friends and family – and so, naturally, they write andin the language they speak. While their origins might indicate otherwise – the group supposedly began when Móglaí Bap fled arrest after spray painting “Cearta” in Belfast the day before the Irish Language Act march in May 2017 – their music is not created to make a point. It’s created for people to get on it.

They make stuff that sounds like what they like – Kneecap’s lyrics might sound lifted from an Irish folk song, but the beat and cadence is infected with old school 90s hip-hop.
“We’re not on a mission to try to save the Irish language. We’re here for tunes and a big fucking party.”But, considering the climate they inhabit, it’s perhaps unavoidable that the band’s rise to fame has been tied to politics.

Real Irish Soda Bread RecipeOnce upon a time, soda bread was baked over hot coals in a covered skillet, trapping steam from the dough to produce a wonderfully crusty loaf of bread—a setup anyone can re-create in a Dutch oven. Teamed up with low-protein all-purpose flour and volatile baking soda, buttermilk hits the sweet spot of gluten and carbon dioxide formation, creating a moist and fluffy soda bread that's chewy and crusty all at once.
