Introducing… The 1975

It’s definitely been quite a long time since I’ve done one of these posts.  Part of that is because I’ve been stuck in quite a rut when it comes to discovering new people and groups in any capacity, and another reason is I just haven’t thought to introduce you guys to the great and awesome new people that I have come across.  Nevertheless, today I want to talk to you all about the incredible band that I discovered thanks to MissGlamorazzi and Against the Current (on Youtube), The 1975.

Famous for the hit single, “Chocolate,” The 1975, comes from Manchester, United Kingdom.  The 4 members met in school in 2002, and consist of Matthew Healy (vocals, guitar), Adam Hann (guitar), George Daniel (drums), and Ross MacDonald (bass).

Total, the group has released four EPs.  Their self-titled debut album was released on September 2, 2013 and debuted at #1 in the UK on September 8, 2013, ahead of the Nine Inch Nails comeback album.

Overall, The 1975 is unlike anything I’ve ever listened to and stuck with.  I’ve “dabbled” in this typed of music before, but have never planned to see the group in concert as I’ve done with this group.  I have had the same songs on a constant loop since September, and that really says something.  The 1975 has taken a front row in my “music agenda” and has pushed all other music to the back burner.  Be warned through- some songs are marked as “Explicit” on Spotify.  And just a word to the wise, this music isn’t truly appropriate for all ages, even the songs that aren’t marked.

Here are some links to some videos that I think you may enjoy as well as the band’s official website!

Until next time, Happy Reading (and listening!),
Allison
