Most promising for 2013... BASTILLE

“We probably sound like everyone else to be honest”, declares the protagonist of a South-London quartet supporting Northern Ireland’s finest, Two Door Cinema Club, early of this year.

 2012 has seen their domination of Reading & Leeds, the occupation of large buildings with their sold-out headline voyage, a hit single nomadic, an initiation of an international army of fans with their first demo outside the UK, and an EP freed, all amidst album prep.

For their boldly modest accusation of their ‘generic-ness’, BASTILLE certainly come prepared with a heck of a lot of ammo for 2013.

But they’ve always been quick to the mark. 2010 saw the originally solo project of Dan Smith (aka Dan the Conqueror) commence, while 2011 saw the now group signed to Virgin Records. Dan's confession that he’s “a bit of a loser really”, says he during a secret gig in August of this year, is therefore made all the more difficult to comprehend considering the strong triumphs of the ensemble and their ever increasing popularity. Although I nodded (like any wannabe music journalist should during an interview), I too well knew BASTILLE’s soaring vocals and stripped down instrumentals exceed their own understanding of their capabilities. With genuine appreciation for their supporters and their own chorus of thank-yous, BASTILLE establishes a persona of high likeability arising from their sheer unpretentiousness.

But with their own similar acoustic association and friendship with recent #1 artist Gabrielle Aplin, perhaps this chart-topper can unconsciously help BASTILLE to wake up and smell the very own roses of their talent...
BASTILLE team up with Gabrielle Aplin (think the xmas John Lewis advert and ‘The Power Of Love’) with their take on a 1977 classic

Almost a million views and counting, 2012 hit ‘Flaws’ establishes a indie-pop number twinkling among fragile beats and beeps. No shortcomings here… 



Look out for their new album upcoming in early 2013.

    Good day! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?

    I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    Hiya! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when browsing from my iphone. I'm trying to
    find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve this problem.
    If you have any recommendations, please share.
