For a while, my favorite band has been The 1975, but just recently I have discovered how much I truly do love them. Classified as indie/alternative rock band, the 1975 has rock sounds and pop sounds as well. Their music is different, but very good and every song tells a story. The band is made up of four guys, Matthew Healy (lead vocals/guitar), George Daniels (drums), Adam Hann (guitar), and Ross MacDonald (bass). They debuted their self titled album in September of 2013. The band had already release four EP's including; Facedown, IV, Music For Cars and Sex. When their album came out I was ecstatic, I had listened to all of their EP's already and I couldnt wait for a whole album. The original came out with a tracklist of sixteen songs, and the deluxe came out with thirrty-seven including remixes. I purchased the original and listen to the deluxe on Spotify. It was for sure my favorite album of 2013 and so far is still my favorite album.
My favorite song on the CD would definitely have to be Robbers. I love everything about the song, the lyrics, the music, the vocals, everything. On April 28th, the band released their music video for the song. The 1975 is known for having videos with a meaning and they are very cinematic. This video did not fail either of those categories. Personally, it was one of the best music videos I have ever seen. Since it was released, I have watched it exactly twenty one times. Every time I re-watch the video, I find something totally new that I love about it and I notice different details that I missed the first ten times that I watched it. Matty Healy writes this about the video as an explanation. 
I think the reason I fell in love with this band, besides their music, is the people themselves. Every member really love what theey do and they have fun with it. Matty has such an amazing mind and he puts so much thought into what he does. George is funny and is always doing something entertainging. Adam and Ross are just so talented and you can tell they all love doing what they do.
Currently The 1975 is touring the United States and they will be in Nashville on May 15th. I don't have tickets because they sold out and Stubhub has reasonably priced tickets but I can't buy them so at the moment, I'm not going to their concert. I would kill to see them live. I have heard nothing but amazing things about their stage presence and the show they put on. Matty always has a bottle of wine and is always dancing around. The videos that I have seen show they have an amazing vibe and everyone in the crowd is into everything they are doing. On the night of the concert a local record store is doing a signing and acoustic show. I am going to try so hard to get there. I want to meet them so badly and hear them live. It would be a dream come true, I would probably cry a lot. Music makes me so happy and this band makes me very happy just by making music and being who they are. So if you get the chance you should really watch some videos with the 1975, down below will be the link to their newesy video, Robbers.
