Couldn't find any other threads about this... I guess a lot of you guys haven't heard of a band called The 1975? They're my favourite band ever!!!
They have four singles and a number one album. 'Chocolate' also won BBC Radio 1's 'Best Song of the past 5 years' award, and the song was nominated for Best Song in the Teen Awards. Also they were nominated for best band in the Radio 1 Teen Awards as well

Have you heard of them? Do you like them?

i heard Girls a week a go .. and i was like Wow who are these guys , so i bought the song.

i heard chocolate too and think it's meh

!!! Chocolate is their best song by a mile!! Way better then girls. Have you listened to any others like Settle Down, Sex or The City?

Chocolate is one of my songs of the year, can't wait to buy their album after hearing Girls and Sex - did anyone know his mum is Denise Welch. Lucky guy (snigger)

Yeah, he's the son of Denise Welch and Tim Healy. Did you know the guys have been a band for 10 years, but only started releasing stuff a year ago

My fave songs are M.O.N.E.Y, Settle Down, Way Out, Pressure, Chocolate and The City.

My top ten songs:

1. Chocolate
2. Sex
3. Settle Down
4. You
5. The City
6. Pressure
7. Girls
8. Robbers
9. Talk!
10. M.O.N.E.Y

Tbh it's very hard to choose.

Whys MONEY so low? I don't like Talk or Robbers really.

Heart Out is good too.

It's hard to fit them all in. I also missed Facedown, Antichrist, Head.Cars.Bending, Heart Out, Is there somebody who can watch you? Etc...

just listen to sex and robbers and love it.... i'll check out settle down and the city later on.

might think about purchasing the album if most of their songs are good.

Girls is so addictive, I hope it's a hit its fantastic, love the video as well.

Been meaning to check out the album for a while, think itll be going on the christmas list this year!

I saw them at a free gig in Manchester back in February this year (playing for free outside the Etihad before an FA cup game ) and I thought at the time they were surprisingly good, wasn't expecting it at all.

I've been meaning to check out their album as well so thanks for reminding me by starting this thread, might go and give it a listen now!

I went to see The 1975 at Bristol a few months ago. It was one of the best nights of my life. Before I went in the lead singer Matty was stood right next to the arena outside a pub on his phone. I only realised it was him after I passed him and then got embarrassed and I didn't want to interrupt his phone call so I didn't even speak to him or get a photo... Huge regrets.

February?!?!? They must have been almost completely unknown back then... How many songs did they play?

Btw im pretty sure one of them is a United fan and I know Matty is a Newcastle fan.

Aye they were only playing on a tiny stage just outside the ground, they were introduced as an up and coming local band or something like that and played about 4 songs.

I just happened to be stood around in the general area with an hour to kill before kick off so figured I'd watch them, had no idea who they were and so wasn't expecting much but soon realised they were actually really good, as did most of the people around me. I remember making a point of finding out who they were for future reference.

You should like them, they have a song that shares a name with you

I love them at the moment, I brought their album a couple of months ago, and I haven't got bored of it yet, which is always a good sign

Yes! The album is still my favourite right now as it has been since the 2nd September. Still just as good. Apart from the first listen; you can't beat the first time you listen to a song and love it!

It's kinda weird the way they have pictures of tim Healy and Denise welch on stage at gigs.. Kind seems like he try's to ram his celeb parents in your face.. Blatantly try to trade off their fame..

They don't? I went to see them and there was no pictures of them? Would be a bit weird if there was.
Actually Matty gets annoyed when people bring up his parents in an interview.

Aww, it's like you know them personally.

Because I called him by his name? Don't you call people by their names?

I like 'Chocolate' and 'Sex' but the rest isn't really gripping me.

I thought his name's Mat

Im pretty sure he usually goes by Matty. Sometimes Matt or Matthew, but usually Matty...
