The 1975 is an alternative rock band. The group consists of Matthew Healy who does the lead vocals and plays the rhythm guitar, Adam Hann the lead guitarist, Ross MacDonald bassist, and George Daniel the drummer. They are from Wilmslow, Cheshire of England. They all went to Wilmslow High School and became friends and began to play music together in 2002. Matthew Healy says that the name was inspired by scribblings found in the back page of an old poetry book June 1st 1975. (Brinnand) They have released four EP’s, a self-titled debut album, and their second album, I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It, was just recently released worldwide in February 2016. When the band first formed they started doing covers of punk songs, eventually they started …show more content…
Their sound is almost refreshing. Every song has a different feel to it and a few of their songs are instrumental. I think that it’s pretty cool that they don’t always sing and just play their instruments. They are all just really talented and I like how they’re just four friends who formed a band while in high school. When I was first introduced to their music I was kind of unsure of it. Eventually it grew on me and now I listen to their songs almost every day. You have to really listen to the lyrics to understand what their songs are about. And I really like that about their music.
I would compare their music to the Baroque Age music. The Baroque was different and had a new sound for the century and they liked exaggerating things. The 1975 has a new and different sound for this century. Also their music videos are extraordinary and different and just reminds me of the Baroque Age. Seeing music videos of their live performances they sound just as good live and I like that about them too. A lot of artist sometimes don’t sound as good live. I have yet to see them in concert but I would love to
They released three albums in the nineties (Check Your Head, Ill Communication, and Hello Nasty) and a few EPs. In the 2000’s, the band released To the 5 Boroughs, The Mix Up, and their
Their first release is a “self-titled” EP with five songs on it–with all them being sort of different, but cohesive; and so there might be something for every indie-lover. My personal favorite is track 3 “Fishes”. Something about that opening guitar line takes me back to the days when I would pull obscure albums

The modern group the beetles did get influenced in a way by baroque music of the classic composers, in todays era it is known a baroque rock music, which in many ways is used in both pop and rock music in todays modern music. Lastly, todays music has most probably become shorter because in a way we have become addicted to skipping music and not remaining focused on one specific song for way to long, in other words we easily get bored of a certain song and we no longer feel the need to listen to it any longer, if todays music was as long as classical music I believe that it would not be very popular with any generation, and thus causing music to no be very relevant in todays society. In conclusion, it was a wonderful experience being able to bring to light two different musical greats, who many believe have no relevancy with each other, but through my eyes relevancy can be found in many different places even in those that seem
Despite the fact that advertising for this LP was very limited, it was a massive success in the US, reaching gold status.. Ironically, it barely sold 6,000 copies in their native Germany. They followed Phaedra with Rubycon, released 1 year later. Again, it was a massive success. Around this time, Tangerine Dream were also asked to to soundtracks for movies. In fact, they’ve released 35 soundtracks! They also released many live records. In fact, a big portion of their discography consisted of live albums. Their fame started to decline rapidly with the release of Tyger in 1987. They would still continue to release many many records. They even helped with the soundtrack to the video game Grand Theft Auto V! Everything in their career was going smoothly until January 20th 2015, when Edgar Froese died after a pulmonary embolism. He was only 70. The remaining still released 4 more records in his honor, using ideas that Edgar had written
The songs they have on this album go really well together. They all basically have the same point. The main point is that Jesus is always there for you. The songs have different ways of saying that message. One of my favorite songs on this album is Broken Together. It talks about how when you come
I like their music because it’s not superficial. A great deal of songs that are popular today are devoid of any meaning and they don’t have any substance at all. When the most popular song is about a certain body part, you know we have a
From their issues in school, to troubles at home, all the way to the problems as celebrities. Their formation into the group, the fallouts that lead to the leaving of the group. But most importantly the pushback they received from the governments and the police, basically, the threat given to them that they would lose their freedom if they played a song that they created that expressed their feelings towards the oppression they faced on almost a daily basis. The sheer fact that they played it, and stood up for what they believed in shows that even with pressure from people with power over them, they can still succeed and do great things. Also the fact that they fixed their friendships before the death of Easy-E shows that some bonds can never be
The 1975 is an English rock band originating from Cheshire, United Kingdom. The group consists of Matt Healy, Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald, and George Daniel. Topping the album charts, the 1975 became widely known across the UK. After a few years and a two EPs released, the British rock band became noticed among the United States and the majority of Europe. Their second album, I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it, featured a song display their attitudes towards America. The song, She’s American, recognizes the differences in culture between the US and their home country. It was inspired by the Englishman’s reaction towards a relationship with an American girl. This relationship ended fairly quickly due to the numerous differences Matt Healy realized he had with the American. These lines spoke to me, in particular, because of the way the lead singer/songwriter captures the essence of stereotypes. Matt Healy conveys the way social media influences us, introducing a way society plays a major role in our decisions. And, finally, he mocks the American population and their behavior with the repetition of certain lines.
They take bits and pieces from just about every genre of music and make it sound great. The members of the band are actually animated, with members (except creator/vocalist Damon Albarn) being largely interchangable between releases. What initially pulled me in was the unique and interesting art style from co-creator Jamie Hewlett, but I stayed for the diverse and interesting music. Out of their five albums so far, I cannot name a song I hate. That’s not to say I like them all equally, however. Every new album brings new features that play off the existing tropes of the band in ways one would not expect. Every album has its own distinct feel to it, from their self titled album’s classic hip-hip beats mixed decidily rebelious attitude to their latest feature heavy foray, Humanz’ mainly modern rap and electronica based tracks have a very heavy, serious feel overall. New music from Gorillaz is always excited because nobody knows what they’ll do next. Even if a song seems to miss at first, on future listenings, it becomes more and more likeable. This has become known as the Gorillaz Effect, as it is so prominent in their music. It’s quite a bizzarrre phenomenon, leading to some of my (initially) least favorite songs moving up to my most listened. I thought I hated almost all of the new album on my first listen, but as I kept looping it, I found that most of it was pretty good. My favorites are Strobelite, Momentz, and
This album is very different in comparison to the band's first album “a fever you can't sweat out”. One difference immediately noticeable is that the new album sounds a lot more electronic compared to their debut album which has more instruments present in the actual sound.
If you like pop rock or indie pop, I think you will definitely like this album. Personally it took me a few listens to warm up to the style Glass Animals brings to the table here, but this is a very fun and accessible album despite an unfortunate lack of stylistic
“I’m still figuring out who I am, but I know I’m not who I was.” Brendon Boyd Urie was born on April 12, 1987 in St. George, Utah. He was raised in a very Mormon family, and he is of Hawaiian descent. Growing up, he loved music, and he was always singing or playing the drums, guitar, or bass guitar. Naturally, when Brendon got to high school, he desperately wanted to join a band with people who loved music as much as he did. At Palo Verde High School in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2004, Brendon met Brent Wilson, who asked him to be in Wilson’s band, since they needed a new guitarist. This band became known as Panic! At the Disco, a very popular pop punk band today. Although Brendon entered the band as a guitarist, the rest of the band heard his phenomenal
Then there are those songs that really speak of non-sense, written and performed by drunken buffoons like The Doors and David Bowie, all songs I find very amusing. The very music that I can throw my head around to in random directions and still call it dancing. With this comes that relaxed fun, and no care in the world. Songs that push away all fears, worries and stresses that may present in life today. During the time of these artists, they had no worries; they were high half of their lives but still just having a good time. That is the way I like to feel, and why I believe I was born to the wrong generation. I try to bring the early classic rock era to me as much as possible; I find this easiest through the music.
