It's so refreshing to see a band who were relatively unknown such a short time ago reach no.2 in the UK Singles Chart!! Hopefully their album (which was released today) can go on to chart at no.1.

Anyway, I've done a cover of the song 'Pompeii' and stuck it on Youtube, let me know what you think either on this page or on Youtube.

Cheers guys

They didn't exactly come out of nowhere - you couldn't avoid posters for the song on the London Underground. Make no mistake, this had a big marketing push.

Yeah all the promotion on VEVO/Youtube must have helped as well, but its still great to see. I wonder whether they will stick around

Well of course it has. As usual, the GBP likes exactly what it's told to like.

they're a great band who deserve their success, it's a shame people here are so bitter towards a new British talent.

You know what's a real shame? That Denmark doesn't know any good, British singers or bands, and I have to buy the albums over Amazon. Because then I have to wait several days, it's a pain.

Bastille are awesome, their music is really amazing. Congratulations to you. :P

The album's decent enough dance-pop fodder. In a couple of years no one will care about it.

If anyone's interested, 'Laughter Lines' is single of the week on iTunes . The album is really good, nice easy listen.
