Anyone into the London based "Bastille" ?

Some rather good songs they have in their cannon

I've only heard Pompeii but I really like it

I like what I hear! And in an odd coincidence, Edward was telling me the tale of one of the closest living descendants to the old kings and Queens of France, and this fellow is a carpenter living in Canada! Maybe things come round full circle in time?

I like their music, they did some pretty good remixes/covers

The best thing about Bastille, imo, is that they're getting in the charts. They might be a bit "meh" to some people, but I don't think that should matter; they're music with human thought gone into it, like Coldplay, and that's a much better alternative to a dirge of faceless, big name-heavy pop that exists simply to exist, and make itself more money than anyone really needs. Sorry. Rant over.

I like that sentence a lot because it seems very true, to me at least!

I didn't know there was a Bastille thread! :surprised:

 

I really really like them.

And I love Dan's voice, I think it is pretty cool :awesome: (and it seems like he sings so effortless)

I saw them as a support act for Muse, they were pretty good :)

Nice, I'm going to see Muse in Amsterdam tuesday, with Bastille and Biffy Clyro as support acts. I'm really curious about how Bastille will sound live.

22nd at the Ricoh, AMAZING!

Bastille just announced their North American tour!

 

 

I heard Pompeii one day and really hated it. Someone said that they have good tunes so I tried another songs and well, these boys are really good. Still I kinda find Pompeii a bit irritating, it's probably me but there's something about this song that I don't like.

I really love Bastille! Don't know them for a long time yet, but like every song of their album (that doesn't happen a lot to me ;D ) Their songs also get better the more you listen to them, (which is of course better then the amazing and catchy songs you start to hate after a while). This group has the capacity to become a big band!

 

If you don't know them yet, check out Pompeii!

Is it the durr durr durr durr duurrrrrr? :p

 

I just listened to the entirety of Bad Blood...good album. It's very much like film-music...as if Hans Zimmer wrote it or summat. Not quite my personal-"this-is-what-I'd-want-to-listen-to-all-the-time" which is restricted to Coldplay, Oasis, Muse, Keane, etc. It's a smart take on electronic-influenced music IMO.

I heard Things We Lost In The Fire today. Such a great song!

it's been a month since I discovered this band thanks to youtube. I'm IN LOVE with their songs. :D

they are basically awesome from my point of view

I can't wait for their album to be released here in Argentina!

It may sound crazy but their music makes me feel the same way Coldplay did

when I was younger

They covered We Can't Stop and even if the choice of song is not appealing, it is an amazing cover and everyone must listen to it :wacko:

hell yeah! thanks for posting! would have missed it and probably would have heard that beautiful cover never ever then!

They're really awesome I fell in love with Pompeii and then I started to listen their other songs, really amazing! :)

I've been hearing Pompeii all summer. At first I wasn't too keen on it, but after hearing it more, I'm really starting to like them. About to go check out their whole album.

i love bastille, they are my new favourite bands, they've recently released an album called all this bad blood and there are 2 discs. cd 1 has bad blood and cd 2 a lot of new songs, i just love them so much, i love (the singer) dan's hair
