Are you ready to know what exactly are The 1975?

Band Members:

Matthew Healy (vocals, guitar)

Ross MacDonald (bass)

Adam Hann (guitar)

George Daniel (drums)

Critics have been baffled, bemused and genuinely thrilled by these Manchester mysterious and their shifting, amorphous drifts between brooding art rock, crisp electronica, dance floor R&B, helium hip-hop, shimmering balladry and 80s gloss pop.

How the band started?

There was this idealistic hippy council worker who started to put on these gigs for kids, to form bands. I remember the guitarist [Adam Hann] came up to me and said he wanted to play one of these shows. We started playing, doing covers of punk songs and pop songs and just started out doing that. Then once we eventually wrote a song, I decided, well, this is a lot better than going to work - or going to school, for that matter. We started from then and we've been making music together since we were about 15 - George was 14, actually, when we started," said Matthew Healy in an interview with Gigwise.

The 1975 Trivia:

- Matthew Healy was originally the drummer, but took over vocals after the previous singer left to start another band. Daniel was recruited as the new drummer to complete the final line-up.

- The band's name was inspired by an old Beat poetry book dated "1 June, The 1975".

- They were first signed to UK based Indie Label Dirty Hit.

- They first appeared as The 1975 in January 2012.

The band’s self-titled debut album, which they co-produced with Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys, Foals), is now available for download via:

Extended Plays:

"We wouldn’t have been able to release the album without putting out the EP’s first, as we wanted to make sure we could express ourselves properly before dropping this long, ambitious debut record on people." - Matthew Healy
