One of the most-talked about acts of 2024, Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap's semi-biopic self-titled Irish-language film was one of the most-acclaimed movie releases of the year playing in over 500 cinemas across the U.K., U.S. (via Sony Classics), and Ireland in August 2024. The Original Soundtrack features tracks from KNEEECAP, Bicep, Fontaines DC, and Orbital alongside the film's incidental music - composed by Michael 'Mikey J' Asante MBE - and interspersed with snippets of the film's dialogue. Both the soundtrack and film were hugely successful scoring 14 BIFA nominations including: Best Music Supervision, Best Original Music and Best British Independent Film. Having previously scooped the Next Audience Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Galway Film Fleadh in July, the film was selected by the Irish Film & Television Academy (IFTA) to represent Ireland in the Oscar's International Feature Film category.
