Winner of the Audience Award in the NEXT section of this year's Sundance Film Festival, Kneecap tells the story of the eponymous Irish hip-hop group — the only catch? The band members play themselves alongside a supporting cast that includes Michael Fassbender and Simone Kirby. The result is a film that feels incredibly energetic and surprisingly heartfelt, with a powerful message about the importance of preserving cultures and indigenous languages.

We at FandomWire spoke with Kneecap members DJ Próvai (JJ Ó Dochartaigh) and Móglaí Bap (Naoise Ó Cairelláin) about the film, their music and their message. Like the film and the band's music, the conversation was equally funny and insightful. Check out the interview below:

FandomWire: Between the release of the movie and the release of your album "Fine Art," you had a hell of a year. Is it exciting to reach such enormous levels of international acclaim?

Móglaí Bap: Yeah, I mean, this is our first year touring a lot around Europe. We have just returned from Denmark, Belgium, Amsterdam, Brussels, Madrid and Portugal. So it's crazy for us to go around all these countries. I think it's very rare for a band to have a debut album and a movie at the same time. So you can imagine we are very, very busy. We haven't had a minute yet. But it's a lot of fun. And it's amazing for us to have the opportunity to travel the world and connect with people from all different cultures and walks of life.
