I first discovered the 1975 last year while searching for new songs to add to my playlist. I've always been a fan of the indie rock genre, and upon hearing one song from them I was immediately hooked. I'm happy to say that I have since watched them live during a series of concerts they held here in Manila (amidst throngs of screaming pubescent girls who suddenly made me feel aged), and am equally happy to report that they're as good live (or maybe even better) as they sound on their album.

The 1975 is a Manchester indie rock band consisting of Matthew Healy (vocals and guitar), Adam Hann (guitar), George Daniel (drums), and Ross MacDonald (bass). They have four EPs under their belt, and their first album debuted No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart in 2013.

For those of you who have not heard this amazing band yet, here is a repertoire that I recommend:

Sex

Settle Down

Chocolate

Girls

Robbers

The City

She Way Out

Head.Cars.Bending
