After forming at school in 2011 the group of 4 young Mancunians began to tirelessly tour the UK under a variety band names until they found not only their name but their sound!
Partnering up with Mike Crossey (Foals) who has described them as a cross between electro, R&B & 80s pop, in August 2012 under the name of THE 1975 they released 3 EPs (on iTunes ONLY) under Dirty Hit Records;‘Facedown’ instantly made waves on UK radio with the likes of Huw Stephens & a month later with the release of ‘Sex’ they received their first Radio 1 playlist.
FIRST SINGLE: ‘CHOCOLATE’
Taken from their third EP ‘Music For Cars’ ‘Chocolate’ will be the lead track going forward with this campaign & has had fantastic reaction in the UK.
The hugely infectious track immediately went to the top of the Hypemachine chart on its launch & a Radio 1 A-listadd quickly followed.
The track is now trending at #19 (#39) in the UK’s Official Single’s Chart and is up to #5 on Shazam and #13 on the Spotify chart.
