The 1975


The 1975


The 1975 is a band consisting of Matty Healy (lead singer and guitarist), George Daniel (drummer), Adam Hann (guitarist) and Ross MacDonald (bassist). The band formed in 2002. They are an indie alternative rock band, which is my favourite genre of music. The band name was created when the lead singer Matty Healy was looking at the back page of a Beat Poetry book dated "June 1, The 1975". He told his band mates and they settled on that name. Matty Healy grew up with his mum, Denise Welch, and dad, Tim Healy, in Newcastle and Manchester. In 2004, Healy met Adam Hann and Ross MacDonald at Wimslow High School and decided that they would start a band. Healy was originally supposed to be the bands drummer but changed to be the lead singer after the former lead singer left for another band. They needed a drummer and eventually they found George Daniel.


My favourite songs by The 1975 are Settle Down and Robbers.

The type of music I listen to can range from Ed Sheeran to Panic! At The Disco to Kodaline to 5 Seconds of Summer. When I was younger I used to listen to music my sister and brother listened to. With my sister I grew up listening to singer/songwriters like Natasha Bedingfield and groups like Black Eyed Peas. My brother, on the other hand, listened to bands so I grew up listening to Green Day and Outkast and Blink 182 so I had a variety of music that I listened to.

GREEN DAY

Green Day

Green Day has been a band I had listened to for years and still do. Since my brother always listened to them I listened to bands that were like the as I grew up. The first ever song I heard of theirs was Basket Case in 2004.

I didn’t know why I was so interested in them but nowadays I am so happy I knew them back then and still like them today.

Billie Joe Armstrong (lead singer and guitarist), Mike Dirnt (vocals and bassist) and John Kiffmeyer (drummer) were the original members of the band. Tré Cool replaced Kiffmeyer in 1990 before their second studio album Kerplunk, released in 1992. They’ve been together since 1989.

FALL OUT BOY

Fall Out Boy

Fall out boy were another band that I listened to thank to my brother. I listened to them because I thought they sounded and reminded me of Green Day. The first song I listened to of theirs was Sugar, We’re Going Down in 2005.

Patrick Stump (lead singer and guitarist), Pete Wentz (vocals and bassist), Joe Trohman (voclas and guitarist) and Andy Hurley (drummer) are the present members of the band. They’ve been together since 2001.
