The 1975

The 1975...

For this love I can only thank E4 and their programme Made In Chelsea. Now for those that have heard of The 1975, you probably know the song Chocolate; this song is an incredibly catchy song that is currently featuring in the top 40 at no. 21. Well that's good if you ask me.

This Mancunian band have done well to get where they are. They first appeared in January of 2012 and it took off from there, with three EP's under their wing they branched out.
The band got their first proper airplay on Huw Stephens 'BBC Introducing' show with their song The City they were then invited onto the show to talk about what they were up to next. From there the track The City went on to get played all over BBC Radio One, the band then featured in various blogs and new music sites.

In the late stages of 2012 the band decided to go on tour and get some real fans, they embarked of taking over the UK and Ireland, they extended their tour through 2013. Late in 2012 Zane Lowe played their single Sex, only helping their popularity.
People were hearing The 1975 and loving what they heard, they are a fresh new quirky band. Mike Crossey - known for producing albums for the well known bands such as Arctic Monkeys and Foals- will co-produce their first full-length album. Rumoured to be released later on this year (!). As a teaser for this full-length album the band have recently released their third EP entitled Music For Cars EP (which ties in with their video for Chocolate). 

If you haven't yet listened to the band, any of their EP's or and songs here are a few examples...

If you like White Lies, I have a feeling you will like The 1975, especially The Antichrist it's so good. With their haunting, mellow and smooth vocals The 1975 are a very easy going, easy listen band, I highly recommend that you guys listen to them.
