Band To Check Out: The 1975 & 'The City' Stream & Music Video




Having already released three acclaimed EPs 'Facedown', 'Sex, and 'Music For Cars', Manchester, four-piece The 1975 (Matthew Healy (vocals/guitar), Adam Hann (guitar), George Daniel (drums) and Ross MacDonald (bass)) are treating us to another new EP entitled 'IV' due out on the 20th May 2013 through Dirty Hit / Polydor here in the UK - and what a year these guys have had already!

With sold out tours both in the UK and the US, a support slot across Europe with Two Door Cinema Club, a successful set at SXSW, and top 20 hit in the UK's official single chart with track 'Chocolate' taken from their second EP - these dudes have already sould out their May UK tour and two huge shows from their September 2013's show (London's Shepherds Bush Empire and Manchester's The Ritz).

Originally formed as punk band whilst at school - their current sound is not set in stone, instead its an eclectic mix between angsty art rock, electronica, dance R&B, shimmering balladry and 80s gloss pop. Luckily for us, the anthemic lead track from 'IV' - 'The City' is currently streaming on Soundcloud and is also accompanied by a cool new black and white music video! Listen to the single and check out the video below.
