One of our favorite acts this past week in Austin, TX has been The 1975. Fronted by vocalist Matthew Healy and his haunting vocals, the rest of the band consists of indie-synth instrumentals, resulting in some of the catchiest tunes we’ve heard in a long time. The 1975 stayed busy during SXSW, playing 9 showcases during the week. The first of which was a showcase put together by Huw Stephens of BBC Radio 1, which featured a handful of up-and-coming UK artists such as Bastille, Lucy Rose, and Tall Ships. The catchy 4-piece from Manchester, England certainly turned some heads… Read more »

Nope. He was trying to remove his suitcase from the storage compartment, and in the… Read more »
