The 1975

Only heard one or two songs. They're ok. Shit name though.


I think the name is alright.

Evocative, piqued my interest, doesn't pigeonhole them, memorable, and can't be applied to or mistaken for anything else.

I was expecting more from them cos of their name.
 
Another one here who assumed they were some sort of rock band but in fact they seem to be a Huey Lewis and the News tribute act. The main difference being Huey Lewis is good fun whereas this lot seem right up their own arses. I remember my daughter and all her mates were furious when they got put on as headliners to replace Lewis Capaldi at Reading a few years ago.
 
He’s in his 30s now so not exactly a kid.

Would you also be boasting about getting caught wanking to ‘ghetto gaggers’?

He had apologised for some of it but still.

As I said I don’t actually think he’s really how he comes across and people seem to like him but I can’t get past it even if I loved their music.
He freely admits that he talks utter shit. Some times he just says it for a reaction, but that doesn't mean that he's not still being a total dick. But sometimes he is very funny, and at least he's not another fucking beige front man.

The band have come up with a good way of dealing with it, mind.

 
One of them is Charli XCX's boyfriend, so he at least must have something going for him.

George - the drummer and co-producer. He is the ‘George’ in ‘I wanna dance with George’ line from Club Classics. He also does some of the backing vocals on her stuff.

I can’t believe I’ve just shared this level of inane knowledge with the world.
